iOS handlePushMessage

Hi All,

First off, thanks to all who contribute to this project.

I recently implemented push notifications through Intercom and I’m receiving them successfully on my test device. I’m trying to send push messages with an iOS link to open a specific screen in my app and I’m not sure how/where to put my routing logic.

I see there is a method called handlePushMessage, but I don’t see any documentation on how to use it. I’m trying something like this:

AppState.addEventListener('change', this.handleAppStateChange)

handleAppStateChange(currentAppState) {
    Intercom.handlePushMessage((a) => {
      console.log('a: ', a)
    })
}

I’m not getting any console log. I’m assuming I should be able to call this method and get back the link that I had set on the push message so I could perform the appropriate routing.

If anyone could steer me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

A little more context:

I’m using branch.io to handle deep linking and have it working with another push notification platform (onesignal). Our goal is to move from one signal to intercom for sending manual push notifications.

I’m able to receive push notifications (using intercom and this library) on both iOS and Android. The only difference is the handling of the deep link. Android just worked out of the gate, so when I tap on the push notification, it takes me to the correct screen in the app. For iOS, tapping the push notification only opens the app and doesn’t carry over the deep link.

@ZeerakHameem32 , If the application is opened by the deep link you can access getInitialUrl method of the Linking module. See docs here.

import { Linking } from 'react-native';

const initialUrl = await Linking.getInitialURL();

handleLink(initialUrl); // handle Link in this function 

If you have configured everything correctly this should work. I hope this helps you.
