Hi all,
*Summary *Push Notifications are now available to enable on all wikis for Android & iOS Wikipedia apps
*Background:*
- Wikimedia Product teams needed a new way to drive user engagement
and retention for features like "Thank You's" and "Edit Reminders"
- Similar to web and email notifications, editors receive quick
notifications outside of using the native apps
- Push notifications are a way to send messages to user devices
without the user engaging with the application
- The Product Infrastructure team[1] designed and built the underlying
infrastructure[2] to provide the push notification capability for other product teams to leverage
- This first release of v1.0.0 provides the following features:
is not currently running
- App users can now receive notifications sooner, even when the app
notifications
- App users can subscribe and unsubscribe to receive Echo
Android and iOS
- Echo can send messages to the user via native Wikipedia apps for
server overload
- The system can limit the rate and volume of messages to prevent
upon notification request failure
- Invalid subscriptions are automatically removed from the system
- You can find more information on our MediaWiki[2] and WikiTech
pages[3]
