Centralized Push Notifications from Multiple Apps through Branded Launcher App

Dear Team,

I hope you're doing well.

We currently have a branded AppSheet application installed on users’ devices, which functions as a Launcher App. This app is successfully handling push notifications.

We also have several other AppSheet apps (e.g., for inspections, audits, observations, etc.) that are not branded or installed on the users' devices. We want these other apps to be able to trigger push notifications, but have those notifications be delivered through the installed branded Launcher App?

Question is:
Is there a native or supported way in AppSheet to allow other apps (within the same account or Firebase project) to delegate or forward push notifications through an installed branded app (i.e., a centralized notification sender)?

Any guidance or best practices on this architecture would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your support.

For different purposes, we’ve created separate AppSheet apps (like for audits, inspections, reports, etc.). However, we don’t want to ask users to install multiple apps on their phones — it’s not professional or convenient.

So, we created one branded app as a launcher, where users can open or access all other apps from this single app. This Launcher App is installed on their phones, and we’ve successfully set up push notifications for it using Firebase.

Now the challenge is: when we want to send a push notification from another app, the user doesn’t receive it, because that app isn’t installed on their device.

Is there a way we can send all push notifications through the Launcher App, even if the trigger or logic comes from a different app?

Yes you can do that when using AppSheet API and webhook. The webhook needs to trigger/update something in your branded app which then sends the popup notification via the Bot.
