What is Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)?
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is Google’s messaging service that enables apps and websites to send real-time push notifications to users across Android, iOS, web, and connected devices.
How does FCM work with Enveu?
Enveu integrates directly with FCM to trigger push notifications based on platform events like new content, live streams, reminders, promotions, and user actions—delivering them instantly to user devices.
Which devices are supported with Enveu + FCM?
Push notifications work across Android Mobile & Android TV, iOS & iPadOS, Web Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari), and Smart TVs & connected devices (where supported by the OS). Note: Safari uses Apple Push Notification service (APNs) via Firebase support.
Do I need a separate Firebase account to use push notifications with Enveu?
Yes. You can connect your own Firebase project to Enveu, giving you full ownership of credentials, analytics, and notification controls.
Can notifications deep-link to specific content or screens?
Absolutely. Notifications can deep-link users directly to a specific video or live stream, a playlist or rail, a campaign or offer page, or any in-app screen supported by Enveu.
Is notification delivery reliable at scale?
Yes. FCM is built for massive scale and reliability, handling retries, throttling, and device availability—while Enveu manages logic, targeting, and payloads.
Can I track notification performance?
Yes. Using Firebase Analytics with Enveu, you can track notification delivered vs opened, user engagement after click, and conversion and retention impact.
Is FCM included in Enveu pricing?
Enveu provides the integration layer. Firebase Cloud Messaging itself is free under Firebase’s usage limits. Any additional Firebase services are billed directly by Google.
Is technical expertise required to set this up?
No. Enveu provides a plug-and-play integration. Your apps only need Firebase SDK setup, and Enveu handles the notification logic and triggers.
Can Enveu help with setup and best practices?
Yes. Enveu assists with Firebase project setup, app configuration, notification payload design, deep-linking strategy, and engagement best practices.
