In Adobe Digital Publishing Suite v30, the DPS text notification system has been rebuilt using an HTML interface. It offers the ability to send text notifications to certain device segments, to people who haven’t launched an app in 30 days, or to custom segments built by SiteCatalyst users.

Additional features include:

  • Scheduled notifications, so you can set when the notifications will be sent, with the time based on your browser time.
  • The ability to control what happens when the reader clicks on the text notification—taking them to their last reading position in your app, or having the app launch and then taking them to the library where they can find your new content.
  • A history view of push and text notifications, so you can review previously sent messages and preview those not yet sent, with the ability to cancel those that are scheduled.

The new notification features are available for iOS apps built with DPS Pro and Enterprise.
