Android Action Buttons

Configuring Action Buttons

When creating mobile push notifications, you can add several action buttons for greater interactivity. When a receiver touches the screen for an extended period of time (long pressing), it displays the actions assigned to your push notification. Android OS supports up to 3 buttons in a single notification.

Adding Action Buttons

  1. In your account, select Messages → Messages → Mobile Push.
  2. Create a new mobile push notification or edit an existing one.
  3. In the Buttons section, enter all the parameters as shown below.
