About push v4

Push is a key feature of Notification that enables you to send an alert to users in various ways. It not only offers a bulk push function that enables you to send push to anyone who has installed the app but also a targeting function that allows you to send push only to specific users. You can also send a push notification to a single user.

Push is largely divided into remote push and local push services.

The remote push service is a feature provided by Hive that allows push to be sent from the Console backoffice and game servers, and is immediately available without the need to implement a feature in a game. Local push is a service that sends push directly to users using Hive API from game clients. In addition to registering and releasing local push, Hive also provides settings to change the UI of push notification.

This page guides you through the some works need to be done in advance in order to use remote push and how to use the backoffice. To find out more about sending local push, please check a separate guide through the page, [HERE]

Terminology¶

Prerequisites for using push backoffice¶

In order to use push backoffice, your AppID must be registered to the AppID system. If the game (AppID) is already registered, you can skip this step. You can register/manage AppIDs on App Center, which can be found at the Console.

Please refer to the App Center Guide for details.

Accessing push backoffice¶

You can use Push Backoffice in the Console. From the Console Menu, click Notification and find Push menu.

You will need a groupware account for access to the Console and an authority to access Notification. Please refer to the Console Backoffice Guide regarding the Console usage and gaining access.
