Message Center

Message Center provides an inbox for rich, HTML-based messages that users can view at their convenience. By default, when your app receives a push notification with a Message Center action, the Message Center automatically displays.

You can also display the Message Center manually by calling a simple method, making it easy to add a Message Center button to your app’s navigation.

Message Center inboxes are associated with channel IDs. Each device has a unique channel ID that persists across app launches, allowing users to access their message history.

Display the Message Center

Display the Message Center with a single method call:

UAirship.Shared.DisplayMessageCenter();

Override Default Display Behavior

Custom display behavior is not supported in Unity. The default Message Center will be displayed when requested.
