Pushing messages to macOS devices involves client app, Apple Push Notification service (APNs), and TPNS sever (TPNS Provider). They need to collaborate throughout the entire process to successfully push messages to the client. An exception from any of them can lead to a failure to push messages.

• Bind accounts, tags, and devices, so you can push messages to specific user groups and have more push methods.
• Report the number of clicks, i.e., how many times a message is clicked by users.
