Enable Firebase and push notifications

In this topic, you learn how to activate Firebase in your Neptune DXP - Open Edition and how to enable push notifications for web applications.

Procedure

  1. In the Cockpit, select the System Settings tool.

  2. In the Integrations tab, go to the Firebase section.

  3. Enter the values for Private API key, Public API key, Message Sender ID, Project ID, and App ID you received from Firebase.

    When Firebase generates private keys, it uses \n in the place of manual line breaks. After generating a new private key for a web application in Firebase, ensure that the private key is formatted correctly by copying the private key to a clipboard and replacing all instances of \n with manual line breaks (Shift + Enter) before you enter the private key in Private API key.
  4. Select Restart to apply the changes to your Neptune DXP - Open Edition.

  5. In the Cockpit, select the Launchpad tool.

  6. From the table, select the launchpad you want to enable push notifications for.

  7. In the Customization tab, select Enable Push Notifications.

  8. Select Save.

    Result: Your device is on the list of subscribers in the launchpad if you run it.

Results

  • You have activated Firebase and push notifications in your system.
