Push notification action
This action lets you send users a push notification. All you need is the Intrexx Mobile App. You can define the sender, recipients, content and link destination of the action in the properties dialog.
Create push notification action
The push notification action can be found in processes in the "Elements" area. It belongs to the "Actions" category. It can be dragged and dropped to the desired location in the process chain and then configured. General information about creating process items can be found here.
Once you have created the push notification action on the workspace, open the properties dialog by double-clicking on the element.
