Overview

After you get a batch of user accounts from a third-party data platform or business backend, when launching a marketing campaign for such users, you can use the push to accounts feature to push messages to a single or multiple accounts at a time.

Note：

The abovementioned accounts must be bound with a Tencent Push Notification Service token. For detailed directions, please see Binding an account (Android) or Adding account (iOS).

Directions

Using the console

1. Log in to the Tencent Push Notification Service console.
2. Find the application for which to configure batch push and select Create Push in its Operation column to enter the Create Push page.
3. In the Push Target field, select Account and upload an account package file or manually enter accounts.

   Note：

   Requirements for the uploaded account package:

   • Account package filename: [1, 100] characters
   • Account package format and size: .zip, .txt, or .csv file within 100 MB
   • .zip file requirements: can contain a single .txt or .csv file but not folders
   • .txt file requirements: encoded in UTF-8; one account ([2, 100] characters) per row
   • .csv file requirements: one column only; one account ([2, 100] characters) per row

4. Select the account type. You can obtain the account type from service developers. If no account type is specified, the default type is used.

Using RESTful APIs

Push to a single or multiple accounts

When you call the push API, set audience_type (push target) to account (single account) or account_list (a list of accounts) and enter a proper account type as instructed in Account Type Value Table.

Sample push

{
  "audience_type": "account",
"account_list": [
     "123456"
],
"account_type":1,
  "account_push_type":0,
  "message_type": "notify",
  "message": {
      "title": "Congrats on winning in the campaign",
      "content":"Get online to claim your prize!"
  }
}

Uploading an account package file for push

Step 1. Call the API for uploading an account package file

Upload your account package file as instructed in Account Package Upload API. After the call succeeds, an upload_id will be returned, such as 11231.

Step 2. Call the push API

1. When you call the push API, set audience_type (push target) to package_account_push (push to accounts in the package).
2. Enter the upload_id obtained in Step 1, such as 11231.
3. Enter a proper account type as instructed in Account Type Value Table.
4. Set account_push_type to specify whether to push to the recent or all devices bound to each account.
