Messaging Device Apple Push Notification Properties

Apple push notification properties allow iPhone users to install messaging client software on their devices. This process requires you to create a different e-mail activation message using the appropriate push notification properties.

  • APNS Device Token – the Apple push notification service token. An application must register with Apple push notification service for the iPhone OS to receive remote notifications sent by the application’s provider. See the iPhone developer documentation.
  • Alert Message – the message that appears on the client device when alerts are enabled. Default: New items available.
  • Delivery Threshold – the frequency, in minutes, with which groupware notifications are sent to the device. Valid values: 0 – 65535. Default: 1.
  • Sounds – a custom sound that the iPhone OS plays when it receives a remote notification. The sound files must reside in the main bundle of the client application. Because custom alert sounds are played by the iPhone OS system-sound facility, they must be in one of the supported audio data formats. See the iPhone developer documentation.
  • Badges – the badge of the application icon.

    Acceptable values: true and false

    Default: true

  • Alerts – the iPhone OS standard alert. Acceptable values: true and false. Default: true.
  • Enable – enables notifications to the device if the device is offline. This feature uses an SMS-based push notification for the Send/Receive data exchange. An SMS-based push uses an IP connection for a length of time that is only long enough to complete the Send/Receive data exchange. The feature overcomes network issues with always-on connectivity and battery life consumption on 3G networks. Acceptable values: true (enabled) and false (disabled). Default: true
