Steps for Implementing Mobile Notifications

To implement mobile notifications, you configure each of the participating technologies.

• Step 1. Developer Registration with Mobile OS Vendors

  This step asks the OS vendor to be prepared to handled Salesforce push notifications sent to your app. Developer registration also provides some information you’ll need to finish configuring your Salesforce external client app.

• Step 2. Creating an External Client App

  Once you’ve registered your mobile app with the OS vendor’s push service, the next step is to create an external client app in Salesforce.

• Step 3. Configure Your Mobile SDK App

  In your Mobile SDK app, implement push notification protocols required by Salesforce and the device OS provider.

• Step 4. Packaging Components for Customer Organizations

  To distribute the Apex triggers and the external client app to customers, partners can create a managed package.
