The life cycle of a push notifications isVisual LANSA is integrated with push notifications to keep you informed about important updates from apps. The push notifications lifecycle is the following:
- Request Permission to send push notifications.
- A user subscribes to receive push notifications from a web application resulting in a subscription object.
- The web application passes the subscription object to the application server to store it in a database.
- An event is triggered on the application server to send a notification. The subscription objects are fetched from the database.
- A push notification request is sent to the user agent.
