Anatomy of a push notification
Before we dig into the configuration of push notifications, we take a look at a real world example for a notification (based on the iOS platform).
This example is based on the expense management app:
...
Everything marked green or red can be changed.
The app icon (marked green) and the app name “Spesen” (marked green, part of the title) - is a global setting and based on your App config: General settings
Title (“Benachrichtigung”) and body (“Kaffee kaffeemik - 15,50 (Dominik Rainer) aktualisiert”) is a setting per configuration - see below.
As you might have noticed, the word “von” (in English: “from”) is always part of the title on iOS. Firstly, that will look different on other platforms like Android or Chrome Dekstop.
Secondly, this can make up weird confusing texts, so please check this, before you ship your app.
Examples:
Spesenverwaltung - Spesen von Spesen Neuer Eintrag von Spesen
Benachrichtigung von Spesen
To summarize: If you want to be grammatically correct, your freedom in the title is limited - shift relevant content to the body instead.
App Configuration
In the application YML file, check that you defined the basic setup of the push notifications service. Newer setups of Portrait ship already with these settings.

Changing the Vapid public/private key can lead to invalid notification delivery for users that have already enabled notifications. These users should clear their browser cache for the Portrait website and re-enable notifications. |
