First-party Capgo Notifications

Capgo Notifications Native push, silent update checks, and campaign visibility

Message users, update badges, and trigger live-update checks from the same Capgo release workflow. Notifications now connect native push with progressive deployments instead of leaving release teams to stitch it together.

Native notifications work alongside Capgo Live Updates and channel rollouts.

Guide live updates

Animated illustration: a Capgo console card composes an alert for the external ID user_8421, sends it, and the push lands on an iPhone lock screen and an Android home screen. Delivered and opened counts tick up and the app badge moves from 2 to 3. The card then switches to a silent update check for the production channel, and both devices download bundle 1.4.1 to install on next launch.

Release communication

Push is now part of the deployment loop.

Capgo Notifications gives product teams the messaging surface they expect and gives release teams a native way to wake devices for live-update checks.

Reach the right devices

Register devices with an external ID, tags, attributes, and consent so campaigns can target real product audiences instead of anonymous tokens.

Move updates faster

Use a silent notification to ask opted-in devices to check, download, and queue the latest Capgo bundle for the channel you choose.

Prove what happened

Track provider setup, campaigns, delivery events, opens, badge changes, and background update-check results from the Capgo console.

Use notifications when a release needs a nudge.

  • Tell users about a change that ships with a live update.
  • Ask devices to check for a bundle without waiting for the next app open.
  • Keep progressive rollout, channel, and install-mode controls in place.
Workflow

From provider setup to targeted update checks.

The notification plugin, Capgo console, and updater now work together for Capacitor apps.

1

Configure providers

Add Android and iOS push credentials in the Capgo console, then run the notification setup so the native plugin and updater are wired together.

2

Register recipients

Attach external IDs, tags, attributes, consent, and badges from your app so support, growth, and release workflows share the same device identity.

3

Send or trigger updates

Broadcast alerts, send API notifications to one user, or push a background update check during a progressive rollout.

Feature set

Native notifications without a separate release stack.

Capgo handles the surfaces that usually become one-off glue code around push, user targeting, and update nudges.

Native push for release teams
Ship alert, background, badge, and update-check campaigns from the same product console your team already uses for Capgo releases.

Provider control plane

Keep Android and iOS notification providers active from the same Capgo app settings screen used by your release team.

Broadcast campaigns

Create alert, background, badge, or update-check campaigns when you need to reach every matching device.

API sends

Send a notification to a known external ID and inspect the devices linked to that recipient before you trigger it.

Badge management

Read, write, and sync app badge counts through the native plugin so notification state remains visible to users.

Background callbacks

Handle foreground receives, notification opens, and background data notifications in your Capacitor app.

Campaign stats

Follow campaign status, delivery results, opens, and update-check results without leaving the Capgo release workflow.

Rollout guidance

Use push to accelerate updates, not bypass controls.

Silent notifications can ask devices to check for a new bundle, while Capgo channels, install mode, and progressive rollout rules continue to decide what each device can install.

  • Use alerts for user-facing messages and background campaigns for release operations.
  • Keep silent update checks paired with channels and progressive rollout controls so every device still follows your deployment rules.
  • Treat iOS background pushes as best-effort because the operating system can throttle delivery.

Push notifications with AI agents

Have your agent wire up push notifications

Capgo Agent Skills teach Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor how to install the notifications plugin, register devices, and handle background callbacks in your Capacitor app.

Try asking your agent

  • Add Capgo push notifications to my app and register devices by user ID
  • Update the app badge count when a notification arrives
  • Trigger a silent live update check from a push notification
Customer proof

Trusted by teams shipping Capacitor apps

Notifications live in the same Capgo account teams already use for live updates and native builds.

5.0/5 rated by developer teams 9,400+ teams Read reviews

Being able to add Device ID's to certain groups and push the changes to only certain groups is a life saver.

Being able to push production OTA updates instantly without waiting for full App Store review cycles has been a massive operational advantage.
