Enable "Require Interaction" feature

Follow

Hi Anastasiya

Yes, using the WebDevicePayload.Builder in the 3.0.0 Java Library you can create a Web Notify specific section of the payload and you can use the addExtraEntry method to add the require_interacation key.

Hi Aidan!

Thank you for suggestion.

But looks like it doesn't work:

WebDevicePayload webPayload = WebDevicePayload.newBuilder()
.setAlert("Alert")
.setTitle("Yikes, did you catch it?").addExtraEntry("require_interaction", "true")
.setWebIcon(WebIcon.newBuilder().setUrl("https://www.example.com/test.jpg").build())
.build();

Am I correct?

Could you please provide example?

Hi Anastasiya, 

What was the problem with your test?

Notifications disappear after some time (~10 sec).

addExtraEntry("require_interaction", "true") was added but option does not work.

Guys, any updates?

Today we tried to push manually two types of messages to compare its behavior.

Test:

For both cases PC is locked.

1) Option is disabled:

Chrome notification appears when I start to unlock PC.

2) Option is enabled:

Chrome notification appears only in Notification center after PC is unlocked.

No differences for FF.

Could you please explain require_interaction option meaning?

According to documentation:

Require Interaction

Users may interact with a web notification in these ways:

• Click the notification, which opens the message-defined URL, or the default Action URL.
• Dismiss the notification.
• Click the Settings icon or button on the notification.

 

But its option works not as expected

Thanks,

Anastasia

Hi Anastasia,

You should get a Push ID returned when you send a message to us, could you pass me that so I can take look at it. 

Thanks. 

Hi Anastasia,

Does it work as expected if you send a normal HTTP or cURL API call?

To enable the "Require Interaction" feature, just tweak the notification settings in your code so they stay active until the user interacts. I did something similar while fixing a computer repairs system to make sure users didn’t miss important alerts!
