Before going to understand the process of how to send the push notifications. We would like to tell you about the types of push notifications. And how it will be beneficial to the admin.

There are four types of push notifications that the admin can send to the mobile application users.
1) Category Type

Your mobile application users will receive a push notification whenever they click on the notification. Then they will be redirected to the product page of the camera.

3) Other Type:- In this type of notification, you can send the notification to your mobile application users as a text or an article.

Then you can send a text or an article notification with the coupon code in it so that your customers can visit the notification page and can use this coupon code for the discount.
