Notification Payload Field

To Field

There are three options for sending

  • "*" will send to everyone
  • A key audience with the value set as the audience ID, retrieved via Audiences, will send to the specified audience.
{"to":{"audience":"AUDIENCE_KEY"} ,"title":"test","type":"text_message","text":"test message"}
  • An array of filters for creating an "on-the-fly" audience will send to users who match the filters. See the Filters section for available filters.

Filters

A filter is an object composed of three attributes: name, criteria and not_filter.

Filter attributeDetails
nameDevice attribute on which the criteria will be applied.

Example: { "name": "locale", "criteria": ["en-us"] } will match devices with en_US locale. See the list of valid names/attributes below.
criteriaValues to match in filtering.

A criteria should always be an array with at least one element of type string, integer, float, or a range object (see below how to define a range object).
not_filterBoolean value (false by default). When true, it will match devices that don't match the criteria.

  • { "gt": 0, "lt": 10 } - return values greater than zero and less than 10 (non-inclusive)
  • { "gte": 0 } - return values greater than or equal to 0

The unpublish_at field's date must be specified using a UTC time with the following format: 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:SSZ'. Example: "2019-09-01T00:00:00Z".
