Testing

If you’d like to test in-app and push notifications via the command line, you can send a single notification through the terminal via CURL and the messaging API. You will need to replace the following fields with the correct values for your test case:

• YOUR_API_KEY - available on the Developer Console page.
• YOUR_EXTERNAL_USER_ID - available on the user profile search page. See assigning user IDs for more information.
• YOUR_KEY1 (optional)
• YOUR_VALUE1 (optional)

  "messages": {
    "apple_push": {
      "alert":"Test push",
      "extra": {
        "YOUR_KEY1":"YOUR_VALUE1"
      }
    }
  }
