Mobile Message Inbox

Set up Message Inbox and save push messages directly to your app

Message Inbox lets you keep the most important messages in your app by creating a dedicated section for such notifications. Messages can be delivered to the Inbox with a notification or without one—you can choose it in the settings.

}

Any push notification can be saved to Inbox. You choose which one to save while crafting your push notification preset. Please follow the guide to create your push notification.
