We are announcing the ability to enable push notifications in custom branded apps in Power Apps. This feature will reach general availability on April 7, 2026.
How does this affect me? This feature enables you to configure push notifications in custom‑branded, white‑label apps (wrapped apps).
Key functionality of this feature include:
- Enable notification toggles in the wrap wizard for both Android and iOS platforms.
- Create a new project in your Firebase console (Google Firebase).
- Register your apps in Firebase by creating both an Android app and an iOS app under the messaging section.
- Add platform details by selecting the platform and entering your app’s bundle ID (ensure the package name matches your app’s bundle ID exactly).
- Download configuration files – Firebase provides a google-services.json file for Android and a google-services.plist file for iOS.
- Upload configuration files to the notification step in the wrap wizard.
- Complete the wrap process – the remaining steps will work automatically to generate your APK or IPA file.
- Set up Power Automate flow to send notifications by creating an HTTP request action that calls the Firebase API.
- Configure trigger conditions in Power Automate (for example, when a record is created or updated in Dataverse).
- Extract recipient email address from the triggered record in your Power Automate flow.
- Include Firebase API credentials by storing the API key as a secret value in Power Automate.
- Define notification content including title, body, and target topic in your HTTP request.
- Test notifications using Firebase’s notification composer in the console before deploying to production.
- Target specific users by sending notifications to their email-based topic or target all app users by selecting the appropriate user segment option.
