Push notifications
A push message is a command sent by the MDM server directly to one or more devices, without waiting for their next synchronization. The device receives it in real time and executes the requested action immediately. This allows, for example, a device to be restarted remotely, locked, an application launched, or its configuration reloaded without delay. The complete list of available command types is detailed below.
This page displays the history of push messages sent to devices.
For each message, the following information is displayed: the recipient device, the date and time sent, the message type, and the associated payload.
To send a new push message, click the corresponding button.
