Overview of SDKs

🚧

Note

Starting June 20, 2024, Firebase will discontinue the FCM legacy APIs. Existing apps currently using them must migrate to the new HTTP v1 API as soon as possible to prevent any disruptions in push notification functionality. To set it up, refer to the link.

No additional changes are required on the Webex Connect SDKs.

The Webex Connect SDKs provide a framework on which to build rich in-app messaging and push notification experiences within mobile and web based applications.

Our Core SDK provides the capabilities required to register for and receive in-app messages and push notifications, monitor device attributes such as location, and trigger custom events.
