How do I include images in push notifications sent via the Pushwoosh API?

The method for sending push notifications with images using the Pushwoosh API depends on which API endpoint you are utilizing.

You can directly specify image URLs within your /createMessage API request payload using platform-specific parameters.

iOS

Use the ios_attachment parameter. Provide the direct URL to your image.

Note, you have to integrate Notification Service Extension to support this feature for your app. How to do this: iOS rich notifications integration.

{
  "request": {
    "application": "YOUR_APPLICATION_CODE",
    "auth": "YOUR_API_ACCESS_TOKEN",
    "notifications": [
      {
        "send_date": "now",
        "content": "Your message here",
        "ios_attachment": "https://example.com/path/to/your/image.png"
        // ... other parameters
      }
    ]
  }
}

Android

You can use several parameters for images, such as:

• android_icon: URL for a small notification icon.
• android_custom_icon: URL for a larger custom icon.
• android_banner: URL for a banner image that appears in the expanded notification.

{
  "request": {
    "application": "YOUR_APPLICATION_CODE",
    "auth": "YOUR_API_ACCESS_TOKEN",
    "notifications": [
      {
        "send_date": "now",
        "content": "Your message here",
        "android_banner": "https://example.com/path/to/your/banner_image.png"
        // ... other parameters
      }
    ]
  }
}

For detailed information on these and other parameters, please refer to the official Pushwoosh /createMessage API documentation.
