Devices

Register test devices to preview push notifications before sending to your full audience.

Devices let you register specific devices so you can send notifications to them during development and testing — without affecting your real users.

Adding a Device

1

Get the device FCM token

Retrieve the FCM registration token from the device you want to register. This is typically done by logging the token from your app's FCM initialization code.

2

Open Devices

Navigate to Messaging → Devices and click + Add Device.

3

Enter device details

  • Name — a friendly name (e.g., Luis's iPhone, Android Test Device)
  • Token — paste the FCM registration token
4

Save

Click Save. The device is now available in a Test devices audience.

Using a Device in a Campaign

Create or edit an audience with the Test devices mode, select your registered device, then use that audience in a campaign.

Managing Devices

  • Click the edit icon to update a device's name or token
  • Click the delete icon to remove a device

Note:

FCM tokens can change when a user reinstalls your app or clears app data. Update the token in Firepanel if a device stops receiving notifications.
