The Direct Trigger Push Message API based on template is used to send the following types of messages:

Push notifications - app-related, plain text notifications (as opposed to a Rich messages).
All request data must be sent as an HTTP POST request in the JSON format.

The logic of using this API is as follows:

Create an "API Template Message" for all your triggers to be based on, by selecting the option as shown below
Copy the "Template ID" of the message, located in the summary page, to be used in the API request defined below
Use the API below to trigger messages over the API template message
All fields in the trigger API calls you create from your server will override the definitions you entered in the template.
F or example: if you define sound in the template message and then wish to send a different sound in the trigger (in the API request), for the specific message sent the sound will be the one you entered in the request. The sound defined in the template message will remain the same.

Appoxee API variables and parameters are case-sensitive.
