Requirement: Your AI assistant must have access to Context7 MCP server or web search capabilities.

Quick Start Prompts

Choose the prompt that matches your task:

1. Basic Plugin Integration

Integrate Pushwoosh Cordova plugin into my Cordova project.

Requirements:
- Install pushwoosh-cordova-plugin via npm
- Initialize Pushwoosh with my App ID in deviceready event
- Register for push notifications and handle push-receive and push-notification events

Use Context7 MCP to fetch Pushwoosh Cordova plugin documentation.

2. Tags and User Segmentation

Show me how to use Pushwoosh tags in a Cordova app for user segmentation.
I need to set tags, get tags, and set user ID for cross-device tracking.

Use Context7 MCP to fetch Pushwoosh Cordova plugin documentation for setTags and getTags.

3. Message Inbox Integration

Integrate Pushwoosh Message Inbox into my Cordova app. Show me how to:
- Display the inbox UI with custom styling
- Load messages programmatically
- Track unread message count

Use Context7 MCP to fetch Pushwoosh Cordova plugin documentation for presentInboxUI.

Quick Start

Initialization

document.addEventListener('deviceready', function() {
    var pushwoosh = cordova.require("pushwoosh-cordova-plugin.PushNotification");

    // 1. Register notification callbacks before initialization
    document.addEventListener('push-receive', function(event) {
        var notification = event.notification;
        console.log("Push received: " + JSON.stringify(notification));
    });

    document.addEventListener('push-notification', function(event) {
        var notification = event.notification;
        console.log("Push opened: " + JSON.stringify(notification));
    });

    // 2. Initialize Pushwoosh
    pushwoosh.onDeviceReady({
        appid: "XXXXX-XXXXX"              // Pushwoosh Application ID
    });

    // 3. Register the device to receive push notifications
    pushwoosh.registerDevice(
        function(status) {
            console.log("Registered with push token: " + status.pushToken);
        },
        function(error) {
            console.error("Failed to register: " + error);
        }
    );
}, false);

User ID and Events

var pushwoosh = cordova.require("pushwoosh-cordova-plugin.PushNotification");

pushwoosh.setUserId("user_123");

pushwoosh.postEvent("purchase", {
    product: "Premium Plan",
    price: "9.99"
});

Tags

var pushwoosh = cordova.require("pushwoosh-cordova-plugin.PushNotification");

// Set tags
pushwoosh.setTags(
    { age: 25, name: "John", favorite_categories: ["sports", "news"] },
    function() { console.log("Tags set successfully"); },
    function(error) { console.error("Failed to set tags: " + error); }
);

// Get tags
pushwoosh.getTags(
    function(tags) { console.log("Tags: " + JSON.stringify(tags)); },
    function(error) { console.error("Failed to get tags: " + error); }
);

    <variable name="LOG_LEVEL" value="DEBUG" />
    <variable name="IOS_FOREGROUND_ALERT_TYPE" value="ALERT" />
    <variable name="ANDROID_FOREGROUND_PUSH" value="true" />
    <variable name="PW_VOIP_IOS_ENABLED" value="false" />
    <variable name="PW_VOIP_ANDROID_ENABLED" value="false" />

VoIP in Capacitor

This plugin works in Capacitor apps. Capacitor does not execute Cordova hooks, so VoIP dependencies must be added manually to your native projects.

iOS

Add the VoIP pod to ios/App/Podfile:

pod 'PushwooshXCFramework/PushwooshVoIP'

Then run pod install in the ios/App/ directory.

Android

Add the property to android/gradle.properties:

PW_VOIP_ANDROID_ENABLED=true

These changes persist across cap sync since Capacitor does not regenerate native projects.
