FCM API Upgrade

Google is updating the underlying infrastructure for sending push notifications. The legacy infrastructure will be deprecated by Google on June 20, 2024. You can find more information about Google’s migration from legacy FCM APIs to the new HTTP v1 API here.

Q. Do I need to take any action?

If you send push notifications or in-app notifications from the Blueshift platform, then ‘yes’. You will need to add your Service Account JSON file to all your active Blueshift Push adapters in the App Hub before  June 20, 2024. This key ensures your app receives notifications from Blueshift. The section below outlines the steps you need to take.
