Channels let you target specific groups of recipients instead of sending to everyone in an account. Common use case:
  • Different teams should receive different notifications (for example, marketing, developers, devops, sre).
Channels are flexible:
  • You can assign users, devices, or both to a channel.
  • You can choose channels per request using target.channels.
  • You can keep some API key broad and scope other API key to specific channels.

​
How Targeting Works

Use channel slugs in target.channels: 
{
  "target": {
    "channels": ["ios-beta", "ops"]
  }
}
  • If target is omitted and API key scope is all, delivery goes to all recipients in the account.
  • If target is omitted and API key scope is channels, delivery goes to channels assigned to that API key.
  • If target.channels is provided, only those channel slugs are targeted.
