Sending Web Push Notifications

Sending notifications to web platforms is similar to sending notifications to mobile platforms. Refer here, for more information.

Note: Before you can send web push notifications, you must perform some configuration steps. See here, to know more.

  • In the Send Notifications tab, you see a new option for Platform selection.
