▪️Push configurations

Follow the instruction to get details for the Push notifications from Firebase console

1. Go to https://firebase.google.com/

2. Log in and navigate to the console

3. Create a new project

   

4. In the new project navigate to “Project settings”

5. In the General tab, create a new Web App and copy the content of the "Config" section

6. Navigate to “Service accounts” and generate a new private key

7. Download the file with the private key

8. Provide the Config file content from step 5 and the private key from step 7 to Smartico support personnel. You can also place them yourself in the Label settings in Smartico BackOffice; there are 2 settings to place (in JSON format):

a) Firebase cloud messaging configuration for push notifications - configuration from step 5

b) Firebase server configurations for push notifications - confirmation from step 7.

The "server configuration" has the following form:

{
    "type": "service_account",
    "project_id": "btg-demo",
    "private_key_id": "07ec....40",
    "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n....\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
    "client_email": "firebase-adminsdk-....@...com",
    "client_id": "105962....093962",
    "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
    "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
    "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
    "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/firebase-admins...."
}

There are additional keys that you can place in the configuration to control parameters of the push messages; an example of the structure:

{
  "apns_default_sound": true,
  "ttl": 86400
}

apns_default_sound	true	Plays the system default alert sound when the notification is received on iOS. When set to false, the notification appears without sound.
ttl	86400	When a web push notification is sent, it remains in the user's notification tray for a certain period. If a TTL of 86400 seconds is configured (one day), the notification would automatically expire and disappear after a day.
