FAQ
How do I send a notification to a single user?
If you're looking to send notifications to a specific user device:
Get the user's userId/playerId with the
getIdsAvailableorgetIdsSDK method. See the SDK reference to find example code.For testing you can use the 'Player ID' shown in All Users (you can force kill your app and open it again to bring your device to the top of the list.)
Send the userId from getIdsAvailable or getIds if the pushToken is not null or blank to your server.
Set
include_player_idsto the userId on the PostNotification SDK method or on the Create notification POST REST API call.
This method can be used for User-to-User notifications.
