Group iOS push notifications

[guevaradan]

Hi there!
Is there a way to group iOS push notifications by topic?
We would like to group the notifications in the same way WhatsApp does for “groups”

See below a video of what I mean:

Thanks a lot,
Dan

Hey @guevaradan you will need to use an iOS specific Provider Override for grouping the notifications.

You will need to pass in a thread-id parameter which is same across the notifications you want to group together, so something like passing the topic name there should work.

Here's what your payload might look like:

{
  "notification": {
    "title": "We are processing your order",
    "content": "<p>Thank you for your order. We will notify you when these items are ready.</p>",
    "recipients": [
      {
        "email": "[email protected]"
      }
    ],
    "overrides": {
      "providers": {
        "ios": {
          "thread-id": "topic-id-123"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Hey @hoppercomplex, we've just tried this out and it seems to work fine, thank you.

Just one thing, it needs to be thread-id and not thread_id on the request payload.

@victorcerqueira My bad, edited that in my answer.
