How do I send push notifications to all users at once?

ionic-v1

Hello,
Is there a way to use Ionic Push to send a push notification to all the registered devices at once (without entering every single device token)?

Thank you!

you have to store your regids/tokens in your backend / database.

After that you can use http://docs.ionic.io/v1.0/docs/push-sending-push
to send to all devices.

I think the Remote-API will be extended in the future, because the whole service is marked as alpha.
Maybe you are getting an API-endpoint to get all regids (without storing all on your own).

And i do not know if ionic push already considers the limitation of sending a push to 1000 devices at once for gcm.

We’re currently working on adding a “Send to everyone” feature for this. This is something I was looking for too, so don’t feel left out :smile:

Should be added soon

Just searching on an issue I’m having related to the ‘send_to_all’ attribute and came across this thread. I’m experiencing ‘send_to_all: true’ only working on devices once I have done a push that includes that devices unique token. The device is logging it has registered it’s token but ‘send_to_all: true’ does not work no matter how many times you try. However if you send a push including the devices token it receives this push and will then receive all subsequent pushes to that just use ‘send_to_all: true’. Is there any reason you can think of that this would be happening. We have a very simple use case where we don’t want to have to send and store device tokens on a server.

Hi @mhartington. I noticed the parameter “tokens” is an array. I tested two tokens and the notification was sent for two respective devices properly. I would like to know if there is a limit of tokens on that array. I did not found any explanation about this on the docs. Thanks!!!

https://api.ionic.io/push/notifications
{
“tokens”: [“XXXXXXXXXXXX…”, “YYYYYYYYYYYY…”],
“profile”: “test”,
“notification”: {
“message”: “Welcome!!!”
}
}

@mhartington Hi, Please provide info for sending notification to multiple device tokens and also fetching their status per token in one API call.
