We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to our Custom Push Notification Templates — both collapsed and expanded states are now customizable for Android, with real-time dynamic previews available directly in the CE panel!

What’s New?

• Customize the collapsed state with different rich media for Android

• Dynamic previews help visualize push notifications before sending

• Media URL personalization now supported in the collapsed view

Templates Supporting Collapsed State Customization:

• Edge-to-Edge: Full-width image template with high visual impact

• Carousel: Swipeable multi-image layout for showcasing multiple items with transition effects

• Overlay on Image: Background image with text layered on top for a visually immersive layout.

Works With:

• Broadcast Push Campaigns

• Journey Push

• A/B, Split, and Multi-message

• STO & Scheduled Local Push

• Test Campaigns

Preview It All:

• Real-time preview of both collapsed & expanded views for all templates across iOS & Android

• Platform-specific behavior smartly handled in UI

• Tooltips guide users when customization isn’t available

Note:

• Requires SmartPush Android SDK upgrade to v3.5.8 for collapsed state rendering
