Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)

Connect your Firebase project to SmartAppPush to send push notifications through FCM.

Prerequisites

A Firebase project with Cloud Messaging enabled
Admin access to the Firebase Console
Your mobile app configured to receive FCM notifications

Step 1: Generate a Service Account Key

Go to the Firebase Console
Select your project
Navigate to Project Settings → Service Accounts
Click "Generate New Private Key"
Save the downloaded JSON file — you'll upload this to SmartAppPush

Important

Keep your service account JSON file secure. It grants admin access to your Firebase project's messaging API. Never commit it to version control.

Step 2: Upload to SmartAppPush

In SmartAppPush, go to Settings → Push Provider
Select Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
Upload your service account JSON file
Click Save — SmartAppPush will validate the credentials

Status: ✓ Connected
Provider: Firebase Cloud Messaging
Project: my-fitness-app-12345

How It Works

When a campaign fires, SmartAppPush uses your Firebase service account to send notifications through the FCM HTTP v1 API. Each notification is delivered to the user's device token registered in your app.
