Step 1: Mobile notifications setup
Additional Notes
OneSignal has different notification types for multiple OS types that have to be set up separately, they can both be set up in a single application however.
Step 2: BDK plugin setup
Additional Notes
BDK’s Notification function only works on wrapped apps on mobile devices, it will do nothing on desktop.
This will not break anything, as it “silently fails”. Meaning while it doesn’t work, it won’t interrupt anything else.
Ensure that the plugin has been paid for if not on agency plan, as “BN-” workflows will not function if the plugin isn’t paid for, and wrapped apps use live version only.
Step 3: Get player ID
Additional Notes
This is necessary to send notifications to native app users, as it is a unique ID of their device, without this, there is no target for the notification
Step 4: BDK notification trigger
Additional Notes
This can only be tested on a native device on a wrapped app, as BDK workflows will only fire within a BDK wrapped app, this can make testing notifications difficult
