Overview

TPNS supports adding custom parameters to the push text. After you bind custom parameters to the device and create a push, the device will display the message with custom parameters, which can increase the willingness of users to click the message compared to stereotype pushes.

Use Cases

Ecommerce

To increase the payment rate for items in cart, you can use the following template:

Hi, @{{nickname}}. There are only {{productnum}} left in stock for the {{productname}} in your cart.
Wanna buy it now?

The push message Tommy receives is as follows:

Hi, @Tommy. There are only 6 left in stock for the penguin doll in your cart. Wanna buy it now?

Gaming

To reactivate inactive gamers through push, you can use the following template:

Hi, @{{nickname}}, you have not logged in to the game for {{offline_days}} days. We have prepared {{gift_num}} gift packages for you.
Come claim them >>>

The push message Tommy (who has been inactive for 3 consecutive days) receives is as follows:

Hi, @Tommy, you have not logged in to the game for 3 days. We have prepared 6 gift packages for you. Come claim them >>>

Social networking

To reactivate users who have not opened the application for 3 consecutive days through push, you can use the following template:

Hi, @{{nickname}}. {{friend_num}} friends of yours posted {{story_num}} updates while you were away.
Come check them out >>>

The push message Tommy receives is as follows:

Hi, @Tommy. 8 friends of yours posted 20 updates while you were away. Come check them out >>>

Prerequisites

Creating and managing user attribute

1. Log in to the TPNS Console
2. Go to Configuration Management > User Attribute Management and click Add User Attribute.
3. In the dialog box, enter the attribute name and description, and click OK. Then you can view the created time, attribute name, attribute description, and number of devices on the "User Attribute Management" page. You can edit or delete an attribute at anytime.
   

Binding user attribute

Before pushing a custom message, you need to bind the user attributes to devices in either of the following ways:

Method 1. Use client APIs

• For more information on how to configure user attributes in the SDK for iOS, please see User Attribute Feature.
• For more information on how to configure user attributes in the SDK for Android, please see User Attribute Feature.

Method 2. Use RESTful APIs

For more information on how to bind through APIs, please see User Attribute APIs.

Getting Started

Console

1. Go to Push Management > Task List and click Create Push.
   
2. Insert the user attributes on the right of the "Notification Title" or "Notification Content" field.

   Note：

   One push message can contain up to 5 attributes.
   

3. Set to deliver the default notification title or content if no user attribute is matched.
   
4. Click Preview, confirm that everything is correct, and click Confirm.

RESTful API

To enable custom notification through the API, set ntf_wt_attrs to true and add the following fields to message.

For more information on other message fields, please see the "message: message body" section in Push API.

Below is a sample push:

{
    "audience_type": "token",
    "expire_time": 3600,
    "message_type": "notify",
    "environment":"dev",
    "message": {
        "title": "Hi, {{name}}",
        "content":"You have earned {{score}} points",
        "default_content": "Default content",
        "default_title": "Default title",
        "default_subtitle": "Default subtitle"
    },
    "token_list": [
        "086f959c7aefc3****add2ccf0cd539c1edd"
    ],
    "platform": "android",
    "ntf_wt_attrs":true
}
