Push Notification is to send push notifications to the devices where your app is installed. Users receive the push notifications without opening the app. Push notification feature can be used to prevent churn and bring inactive users back from the dead. You can create segments and set the delivery timing on Metaps Bridge Dashboard. We provide Analytics for your push notifications on the report pages.
