Basic Notifications
The iOS notify platform accepts the standard title
, message
and target
parameters. The iOS notify platform supports targets as services. Assuming that you did not set a name
when configuring the platform you should find all your registered and notification-enabled iOS devices available as notify targets as services with names prefixed “notify.ios_” and then the device name you entered at setup.
Notes:
-
title
only displays on Apple Watch and iOS 10 devices. -
target
can be used to specific a single device using its PushID, found inios.conf
. The preferred way of providing a target is through a target specific notify service.
A push notification showing all of the basic options title
and message
as well as subtitle
and actions.
