APN

You can use the apn node to send notifications to iOS and Safari devices. You will need to configure a Provider Authentication Token and then create an app configuration, which will contain the token, as well as the topic (bundle-id) of your app and wheather it's using a production or sandbox environment. Assign the app configuration to the apn node and you are ready to send notifications.

You can use the apn-notification node to set the properties of a notification, or you can send the values in the msg.notification object. You can also set the raw payload which will be sent to Apple in the msg.rawNotification object. More information available in the apn node info tab.

The tokens must be provided in the msg.tokens object as an array.

GCM

The gcm node is used to send notifications to Android and iOS (if it's configured in Firebase) devices. For Chrome notifications, check out the web node. You will need to configure your GCM Api Key and assign it to the node.

You can use the gcm-notification node to set the properties of a notification, or you can send the values in the msg.notification object.

The recipient of the notification can be specified by setting one of the following keys: to, topic, condition, registrationTokens or tokens.

More information available in the gcm node info tab.

Web

The web node is used to send notifications to Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Samsung Internet browsers. For a list of supported versions of those browsers, check the web-push page.

Some browsers (Chrome and Opera) requires a GCM Api Key to send notifications, so you will need to configure it in the node.

You can use the web-notification node to set the properties of a notification, or you can send the values in the msg.notification object.

The device tokens must be provided in the msg.tokens object and they must contain the endpoint, as well as the p256dh and the auth keys.

More information available in the web node info tab.

Additional information

The apn, gcm and web nodes will return the result in the msg.result key.
