Is it possible to set the priority of the push notification?

Question

Hello!

 

I have noticed that sometimes the push notification is not delivered immediately, but it is delayed by a lot of minutes.

 

What could be the cause of the delay? It might be because of the priority setting on push notification:

How can I set the priority of the push notification on "high priority" when sending a push notification to user? I am using Unity plugin. It is important for our game that push notification gets delivered immediately.

 

Thank you for your help!

Hello Madarina,

Could you please let me know how much delay you have experienced while sending push to users. It will help us to provide better support to you.

As of now settting a priority on Push Noitifcation message is not avaiable. We have recorded your request of providing this feature through API, so that it will help you decide the message priority. We will update you very soon regarding the timeline for this feature.

The delay is not fixed, it is different every time. Most of the time there is no delay. But sometimes the delay is between 5 - 60 minutes.

Please inform me when there is an update on this feature. It is important.

Thank you for support!
