20.3.1 Enabling Push Notifications in an App

Enable PWA and push notification support so users can install your app and opt in to notifications.

To enable push notification support, visit the Progressive Web App section in Shared Components to switch on both Enable Progressive Web App and Enable Push Notifications as shown below.

Caution:

Some mobile platforms require push notifications to be associated with an installed Progressive Web App (PWA), so consider enabling the Installable switch as well. This lets users install your app in a click or tap. After that, it looks and launches like a native app on their desktop or mobile device.

The figure shows the Progressive Web App tab of the Application Definition page in Shared Components in App Builder. It highlights the two switches you need to enable to send push notifications from your application.
