Last updated:

This article describes the steps to configure push notifications in a mobile application. The objective is to start the application when a client opens a notification on its device.

Before proceeding, it is necessary to have previously created the certificates in Firebase or Apple depending on whether the application is for Android or iOS cell phones, respectively. The certificates establish a trusted connection between the devices and the application itself and enable the application to function securely.

Adding Certificates to Your Application

Once created, follow the steps below to upload the certificates to Prisma Campaigns and associate them with a new application called BankApp:

  1. Go to Settings/Applications and click New Application.

  2. Enter the name and select iOS and Android under Select Platforms.
