-
Click the required topic.

Click Publish Message in the menu sidebar.
-
Enter the event type.
-
Enter the message title.
-
Enter the message body text.
-
Set an expiration date for the message.

Click Publish to publish the message.
The message is delivered as popup notification, which is intended to be displayed to the user immediately.
The message body can be a string or stringified JSON.
Using stringified JSON allows you to include additional fields that instruct the client application to do specific things.
For example. you can specify an action to be performed if the user clicks on the message, such as opening a product so that the user can purchase it.
See Message formats for a full list of the available fields.
If you are using ION as your client application, note that it does not yet support these additional fields in the message body.
