Omnichannel messaging
Reach Android and iOS users with text, video, YouTube, GIF, HTML and WebView pushes, plus silent pushes for background updates. Every push can open a URL, Smart Link, Micro Page or screen in your app.

AppBoost Mobile App Push Notifications is a channel for marketing and product teams to message Android and iOS app users through the AppBoost SDK. It supports text, video, YouTube, GIF, HTML, WebView and silent pushes, personalization variables, templates and multi-language content, and each notification can open a URL, Smart Link, Micro Page or in-app deep link.
The problem
Text-only alerts look the same as every other app on the lock screen. Without richer formats and a link to the right destination, pushes get dismissed and do not lead the user back into a journey.
Capabilities
Send text, video, YouTube, GIF, HTML, WebView and silent notifications from the same campaign tool. Video pushes support landscape or portrait mp4 and a call-to-action button.
Upload your own GIF or search the Tenor library for one that matches the campaign, then attach it to the push.
Display interactive HTML, or a preview of a web page, outside the app and even on the phone lock screen.
Send a push that manages your app remotely with no user action, for example to update app data in the background.
Send users to any URL, a Smart Link, a Micro Page or an app deep link chosen from the list stored in Appgain.
Reuse notification text templates and personalize each message with variables written as $varname, so each user sees relevant content.
Send text and title in several languages that follow device language, add emoji, and use a custom sound that is bundled in your app.
Users can opt in or out of specific notification channels through the SDK. The Campaign Summary page charts push token growth over time.
How it works
Add the SDK to your Android, iOS or Flutter app so devices register for push and their subscriptions are stored in Appgain.
Copy the Sender ID and Legacy server key from Firebase Cloud Messaging and enter them under Project Settings, Communication Channels. JSON file configuration is not supported.
Create sandbox and production .p12 push certificates with no password. Enter your Bundle ID and upload both files in the iOS Push tab.
Choose the push type, write the title and message, set a call-to-action destination and select the audience you want to reach.
Use the Campaign Summary page and Push Notification Subscribers section to follow subscriber growth and campaign performance.
Who it is for
You want pushes that stand out on the lock screen and take users to the exact offer, without waiting for an app release.
You need push that fits the app architecture, respects user preferences and can update the app in the background.
Use cases
Send a short mp4 or YouTube video with a call-to-action button that opens the product page in your app.
Write the title and text in several languages once, so each user receives the version that matches the device language.
Use silent push to update app data without interrupting the user, ahead of a campaign or content change.
