Messages - Amazon Pinpoint

Messages

The Messages resource represents a direct message, which is a one-time message that you send directly to a limited audience without creating a campaign. You can send a direct message to as many as 100 recipients. The message can be a push notification for users of your mobile app, an SMS message, an email message, or a voice message.

When you send a direct message, Amazon Pinpoint delivers it immediately. You can't schedule the delivery of direct messages. In addition, you can't send a direct message to a segment. If you want to schedule a message to be sent at a certain time or you want to send a message to a segment, you should create a campaign rather than sending a direct message.

While sending transactional template-based messages using the Amazon Pinpoint API, CLI or SDK, you need to make sure that values are provided for all the template variable either at request time or as default values with the template. Messages failing to render due to missing attribute value will not be received successfully.

You can use the Messages resource to send a direct message.

  • voip – For a notification that provides information about an incoming VoIP call.

Amazon Pinpoint specifies this value in the apns-push-type request header when it sends the notification message to APNs. If you don't specify a value for this property, Amazon Pinpoint sets the value to alert or background automatically, based on the value that you specify for the SilentPush or RawContent property of the message.

For more information about the apns-push-type request header, see Sending Notification Requests to APNs on the Apple Developer website.

Badge

integer

False

The key that indicates whether and how to modify the badge of your app's icon when the recipient receives the push notification. If this key isn't included in the dictionary, the badge doesn't change. To remove the badge, set this value to 0.

The key that indicates the notification type for the push notification. This key is a value that's defined by the identifier property of one of your app's registered categories.

CollapseId

string

False

An arbitrary identifier that, if assigned to multiple messages, APNs uses to coalesce the messages into a single push notification instead of delivering each message individually. This value can't exceed 64 bytes.

Amazon Pinpoint specifies this value in the apns-collapse-id request header when it sends the notification message to APNs.

Data

object

False

The JSON payload to use for a silent push notification. This payload is added to the data.pinpoint.jsonBody object of the notification.

MediaUrl

string

False

The URL of an image or video to display in the push notification.

The authentication method that you want Amazon Pinpoint to use when authenticating with APNs, CERTIFICATE or TOKEN.

Priority

string

False

The priority of the push notification. Valid values are:

  • 5 – Low priority, the notification might be delayed, delivered as part of a group, or throttled.

  • 10 – High priority, the notification is sent immediately. This is the default value. A high priority notification should trigger an alert, play a sound, or badge your app's icon on the recipient's device.

Amazon Pinpoint specifies this value in the apns-priority request header when it sends the notification message to APNs.

The equivalent values for Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), formerly Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), are normal, for 5, and high, for 10. If you specify an FCM value for this property, Amazon Pinpoint accepts and converts the value to the corresponding APNs value.

RawContent

string

False

The raw, JSON-formatted string to use as the payload for the notification message. If specified, this value overrides all other content for the message. For an example of the RawContent property, see Schema sample: RawContent object for a push notification.

Note

If you specify the raw content of an APNs push notification, the message payload has to include the content-available key. The value of the content-available key has to be an integer, and can only be 0 or 1. If you're sending a standard notification, set the value of content-available to 0. If you're sending a silent (background) notification, set the value of content-available to 1. Additionally, silent notification payloads can't include the alert, badge, or sound keys. For more information, see Generating a Remote Notification and Pushing Background Updates to Your App on the Apple Developer website.

If you want to send a push notification to users of the Safari web browser on a macOS laptop or desktop computer, you must specify the raw message payload. Also, the raw message payload must include a url-args array within the aps object. The url-args array is required in order to send push notifications to the Safari web browser. However, it is acceptable for the array to contain a single, empty element. For more information about Safari push notifications, see Configuring Safari Push Notifications on the Apple Developer website.

SilentPush

boolean

False

Specifies whether the notification is a silent push notification. A silent (or background) push notification isn't displayed on recipients' devices. You can use silent push notifications to make small updates to your app, or to display messages in an in-app message center.

Amazon Pinpoint uses this property to determine the correct value for the apns-push-type request header when it sends the notification message to APNs. If you specify a value of true for this property, Amazon Pinpoint sets the value for the apns-push-type header field to background.

Note

If you specify the raw content of an APNs push notification, the message payload has to include the content-available key. For silent (background) notifications, set the value of content-available to 1. Additionally, the message payload for a silent notification can't include the alert, badge, or sound keys. For more information, see Generating a Remote Notification and Pushing Background Updates to Your App on the Apple Developer website.

Apple has indicated that they will throttle "excessive" background notifications based on current traffic volumes. To prevent your notifications being throttled, Apple recommends that you send no more than 3 silent push notifications to each recipient per hour.

Sound

string

False

The key for the sound to play when the recipient receives the push notification. The value for this key is the name of a sound file in your app's main bundle or the Library/Sounds folder in your app's data container. If the sound file can't be found or you specify default for the value, the system plays the default alert sound.

Substitutions

object

False

The default message variables to use in the notification message. You can override these default variables with individual address variables.

ThreadId

string

False

The key that represents your app-specific identifier for grouping notifications. If you provide a Notification Content app extension, you can use this value to group your notifications together.

TimeToLive

integer

False

The amount of time, in seconds, that APNs should store and attempt to deliver the push notification, if the service is unable to deliver the notification the first time. If this value is 0, APNs treats the notification as if it expires immediately and the service doesn't store or try to deliver the notification again.

Amazon Pinpoint specifies this value in the apns-expiration request header when it sends the notification message to APNs.

Title

string

False

The title to display above the notification message on the recipient's device.
