Roles of key services in push notifications

  • Push notification service providers are the core component web services that deliver notifications from remote servers to mobile apps.

    Adobe Journey Optimizer supports both Android and iOS platforms and consequently integrate with following:

  • Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDK which provides client-side integration APIs for your mobiles via Android and iOS compatible SDKs. The SDK provides an Adobe Journey Optimizer extension exposing a variety of APIs specific for push messaging and enable data flow like registering the push token or sending push tracking events or any other custom experience events to Adobe Experience Platform. The SDK also provides a variety of other extensions that enable other Adobe Experience Cloud as well as 3rd party partner capabilities.

    SDK integration also requires setup of Adobe Experience Platform Data Collection services such as:

    • Creating a datastream to configure the profile and experience event datasets against which the data flows into Adobe Experience Platform
    • Creating client-side mobile property and adding extensions. The SDK closely integrates with these extensions to provide a seamless data collection experience.
    • Registering the mobile app bundle identifier and app credentials
  • Adobe Experience Platform Real-time Customer Profile maintains a holistic view of each individual customer by combining data from multiple channels, including web, mobile, CRM, and third party.
