Configuring Action buttons

Action buttons are a great way to redirect users to the desired app screen via push notifications. In order to enable notifications with the action button you need to do the following configuration.

To support Action Button Notification you need to add a file, named SmartechConfig.plist to your project. Follow these steps to add the file in your project. Following is the sample of plist for action buttons or download the attachment from here.
