Push action buttons

An iOS push notification with two push action buttons: Accept and Decline.

Push action buttons allow you to set content and actions for buttons when using Braze iOS and Android push notifications. With action buttons, your users can interact directly with your app from a notification without needing to click into an app experience.

Creating action buttons

Each interactive button can link to a web page or a deep link or open the app. You can specify your push action buttons in the On-Click Behavior section of the push message composer in the dashboard.

Android character limits

Unlike iOS buttons, which are stacked, Android buttons are displayed side-by-side in a row. This means that the more buttons you add (up to three), the less space you have for button copy.

The following table outlines how many characters you can add before your button copy is truncated, depending on how many buttons you have:

Number of Buttons Max characters per button
