multiple channels. It supports messaging via the following methods:

1.3. Real-time messaging (RTM) powered by Android, Windows and iOS SDKs;

1.4. Push notifications to iOS, Windows and Android devices; and

events. SDKs that enable IP messaging and customer data collection are available for Android and iOS.
