Introduction
Send rich push notifications to any device from a single API call. No native app required.
Push Notifications let you reach users on their Lock Screen, Notification Center, and banner with a title, body, images, and sounds, all driven by a simple HTTP API.
How it works
- Create a notification channel with
POST /api/push/start. This gives you a group and a join link. - Users join by scanning a QR code or tapping an embed button on your site.
- Send notifications with
POST /api/push/send. Every device in the group receives it instantly.
What the user sees
A native push notification on their phone: your title, subtitle, body, and an optional image attachment. It looks and behaves exactly like any other notification from a native app. Give a message an actionURL and a tap opens that page instead of the group: inside the app on iPhone, the way a Live Activity's action link opens, and in the browser on Android.
Push notifications and Live Activities are separate products. Live Activities persist on the Lock Screen and update in place; push notifications are one-time alerts. Use both together or either on its own.
