Using the Chatter REST API Push Notification Resource (Optional)

If you prefer to send push notifications without looping through the Apex engine—in other words, if you just want to push a simple message from a connected app on one mobile device to another—use the Chatter REST API push notification resource. This resource is useful for sending notifications of events that occur outside of Salesforce and can be handled entirely within the mobile connected app. You can use this resource in any type of custom app: a native Mobile SDK app, a hybrid Mobile SDK app, or an HTML5 app.

The Chatter REST API resource establishes an HTTP session to send POST requests from the sending device to one or more receiving devices. This means that:
  • The sending app and the receiving apps must either be developed in the same organization or be installed from the same package.
  • Only the receiving apps are required to be registered for push notifications with Apple or Google.
  • Only the receiving apps are required to implement the Salesforce Mobile SDK push notification protocols.
  • Each app requires a connected app, but only the receiving connected apps must be configured for push notifications.
