Mobile Push Notification Formatting

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Is it possible to do line breaks, bold text, or perform other text formatting for a mobile push notification from a canvas app? I want to bold a piece of my message and I also want date and time to display on a different line but right now they are displaying one next to the other. I tried to use char(13) but that did not make a difference. Also, is it possible to insert an icon or an image in the notification that is different than the powerapps icon? 

 

This is my code:

PowerAppsNotification.SendPushNotification(

{

recipients: [cmbPushNotificationRecipients.Selected.UserPrincipalName],

message: "Hello world" & Char(13) & "Date: " & Text(Now(), "mm/dd/yyyy") & Char(13) & "Time: " & Text(Now(),DateTimeFormat.ShortDate) & Char(13) & "Location: " & ThisItem.Address & Char(13) & "*View Details" 

}

)

 

I need all of the items (title, date, time, location) to display on different lines, and I need "Hello World" and "*View Details" to be bold. The push notification is in the onSelect of a button. Please help!

    Try using an HTML input control. Using this you can change just about anything you want as well as add values dynamically from your app.

    It is within the onSelect of a button that the push notification is being triggered. Please see my code above.

    Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that it's not possible to do this type of formatting. Even with V2 of the PowerAppsNotification connector, the documentation doesn't specify support for HTML or rich text.
