Actionable notifications let you add custom action buttons to the standard iOS push notifications. It also gives the user a quick and easy way to perform relevant tasks in response to a notification.
How to implement Actionable Notifications?
Define a category
To use actionable notifications with MoEngage SDK, you have to define the actions, group them into categories, as shown in the example, and pass them as a parameter while registering for push notifications.
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate{
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
//--- Rest of Implementation
//For registering for remote notification
let categories = self.getCategories()
MoEngageSDKMessaging.sharedInstance.registerForRemoteNotification(withCategories: categories, andUserNotificationCenterDelegate:self)
//--- Rest of Implementation
return true
}
//Example to define categories
//This method gives categories
func getCategories() -> Set<UNNotificationCategory>{
let acceptAction = UNNotificationAction.init(identifier: "ACCEPT_IDENTIFIER", title: "Accept", options: .authenticationRequired)
let declineAction = UNNotificationAction.init(identifier: "DECLINE_IDENTIFIER", title: "Decline", options: .destructive)
let maybeAction = UNNotificationAction.init(identifier: "MAYBE_IDENTIFIER", title: "May Be", options: .foreground)
let inviteCategory = UNNotificationCategory.init(identifier: "INVITE_CATEGORY", actions: [acceptAction,declineAction,maybeAction], intentIdentifiers: [], options: .customDismissAction)
let categoriesSet = Set.init([inviteCategory])
return categoriesSet;
}
}
Notification CategoriesMoEngage recommended not to change the actions grouped in a category across the app versions, as it will lead to users seeing different actions for the same category across different app versions.
