Section titled “3. Mobile Push Device Registration”

Native Android device registration requires no manual API keys:

  1. Team members download and install the Omnismith Android application.
  2. Upon logging into the project, the app registers the device token with Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
  3. In automation rules targeting a Push Channel, you can select specific project member accounts to receive the push notification.
