What the form checks#

  • A push campaign can't have locations: "A push campaign goes to everyone in its audience. Switch to Locations to target places."
  • Every notification needs a send time: "Push campaigns send at a set time. Choose a send time for each notification."
  • A send time can't have passed already, in the campaign's timezone.
Who can receive a pushA push needs the device's push token, and your push credentials for its platform: Firebase for Android and Apple Push for iOS. On the Free plan only the Showcase demo app can receive pushes: your own app needs a paid plan.
