Build push stories content

Build a push preset whose expanded iOS notification plays as a full-screen, Instagram-style stories experience: full-bleed images, auto-advancing pages, and a button on each page.

Prerequisites

Before you send push stories, your iOS team needs to:

1. Add a Notification Content Extension to the app using the PushwooshNotificationUI module. Share the iOS push stories developer guide with them.
2. Release an app update that includes the extension.

See iOS push stories for what recipients see without that extension.

Create the preset

1. Open Content → Push Presets.
2. Click Create content.
3. Choose Push stories from the dropdown.

Compose the message

Write the push title, subtitle, and message the same way as for a regular push preset.

Build the stories pages

In Stories, fill in the fields for each page:

Field	Description
Image	URL of the page’s full-screen image. Click the paperclip to pick one from Media storage instead of pasting a URL.
Duration, seconds	How long the page stays on screen before auto-advancing, from 1 to 30 seconds. Defaults to 5 seconds.
Title	Large text shown over the bottom of the page’s image.
Subtitle	Smaller text under the title.
Button title	Label of the page’s call-to-action button.
Button link	URL or app deep link opened when the button is tapped.

Click Add page to add more pages, up to 10 in total. Each page plays in order and carries its own image, timing, and button.

Check the preview

Use the preview panel on the right to check each page before sending. It has two tabs:

• Push: the collapsed notification.
• Story: the page you’re editing, including its image and button. With several pages, the preview plays them in turn, and the progress bar at the top shows one segment per page.

Nota

The preview only shows how the pages will look. Stories play on a device only on iOS, and only in an app version that includes the extension.

Send push stories

To send the preset, select it as the content of a one-time push. The audience is then limited to iOS. See Send a one-time push with push stories.
