Push Notifications
Overview
In NativeLaunch, notifications are split into two categories:
- Scheduled notifications (local) — triggered on the device after a delay or at a specific time. Great for reminders and recurring events.
- Remote push notifications — sent from a backend using OneSignal. Perfect for marketing campaigns, alerts, and real-time updates.
Choosing the right type
Use scheduled notifications when:
- You want device-side reminders (e.g., daily notification at 6pm).
- No backend involvement is needed.
Use remote notifications (OneSignal) when:
- You need to reach users even if the app isn’t running.
- You send notifications based on server events.
- You want segmentation, analytics, and delivery tracking.
