Notifications

You can choose to send these types of notifications to Salesforce mobile app users.

A Note

To enable push notifications, you must also enable in-app notifications.

Display push notifications in Salesforce mobile app or on mobile device’s lock screen. Full push notification content is enabled by default but can be adjusted to show less content.

 

For a notification type to be delivered to the Salesforce mobile app, you must enable the mobile channel and the desired versions of the Salesforce mobile app. For most standard notification types, the mobile channel and the Salesforce mobile app are enabled by default. However, not all standard notification types are available for the Salesforce mobile app.

Enable Salesforce Mobile App Notifications

Disable Full Content Push Notifications

The content of mobile push notifications can be displayed outside of the Salesforce mobile app, such as on a mobile device’s lock screen. Full content push notifications are enabled by default for the Salesforce mobile app, but you can choose to display minimal content instead.

When full content push notifications are disabled, custom notification types display the notification title only. Standard notification types use generic messages.

For example, a default full content notification reads “Allison Wheeler mentioned you: @John Smith, heads-up! New sales strategy for Acme account.” However, when you disable full content push notifications, the equivalent push notification reads “Allison Wheeler mentioned you.”

You can disable full content push notifications for each of your connected apps.

  1. From Setup, enter Connected Apps in the Quick Find box, then select Manage Connected Apps.
  2. Locate the desired app, then select Edit from the dropdown menu.
  3. Deselect Display full content push notifications.
  4. Save your change.
