Profile Requirements

To deliver a push notification to a recipient over Airship, Courier must be provided the recipient’s Airship user id and devices. These values should be included in the recipient profile as airship.

{
  "message": {
    "template": "{{event.id}}",
    "to": {
      "airship": {
        "audience": {
          "named_user": "{{recipient.user_id}}"
        },
        "device_types": ["ios"]
      }
    },
    "data": {
      "username": "Steph Courier"
    }
  }
}

​
Override

You can use a provider override to replace what we send to Airship’s API. For example, you can use basic auth with your send request:

{
  "message": {
    "template": "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
    "to": {
      "airship": {
        "audience": {
          "named_user": "{{recipient.user_id}}"
        },
        "device_types": ["ios"]
      }
    },
    "data": {
      "dataForPushMessage": true
    },
    "providers": {
      "airship": {
        "override": {
          "body": {},
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Basic {{EncodedAppKey:AppSecret}}"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Everything inside of providers.airship.override will replace what we send to Airship’s API. You can see all the available options by visiting Airship’s website.
