Hi guys, I would like to know if there is any API where I can add/send/trigger a In-App messaging banners from a service on the backend (C #, Java or Node)?

Hi Gil,

In-App Messages can only trigger from in-app Analytics events. They're meant for rapid responses to local events, so there is not a server push API. If you want to push things from your server, use Firebase Cloud Messaging.

Hi Sam,

Just to see if I understand correctly, the idea would be to use an FCM data message with the necessary information for the application to display the banner, and the mobile developer should create a component that, when it receives the message, renders the banner, right?



Tks.

Yep, that's correct! You'll also need to deal with the case where the FCM is received by an app which is in the background, since you can't show UI at that point.
