# Push node

> Send automated mobile push notifications to users as part of a multi-step Journey.

The push node sends an iOS or Android push notification to a user as they progress through a Journey. You can use it on its own to trigger a single push from an event, or combine it with email, SMS, delay, and branch nodes to build multi-channel sequences.

## Prerequisites

1. **Configure a push channel** – Add an Amazon SNS or Twilio Notify provider on the Channels page before adding a push node. [Learn how to configure a push channel](/vero-2/channels/push/how-to-configure-a-push-channel).
2. **Register device tokens against your user profiles** – Vero needs an iOS or Android `device_token` on each user's profile to deliver a push message. Device tokens are added via the Vero API. See the [mobile push integration guide](/vero-2/channels/push/push-integration-guide).
3. **Track an event to trigger your Journey** – Journeys are event-triggered, so you'll need a tracked event to enter users into the flow. Learn about [event triggers](/vero-2/campaigns/journeys/event-trigger).

## Adding a push node

1. Open your Journey on the campaign canvas.
2. Click the **"+"** button to open the **add node** menu.
3. Select **Push**.
4. The push node is added to the canvas. Click the node to open the side panel and configure it.

### Choose your push channel and platform

In the side panel, select the **Provider** Vero should use to send, or stick with the default.

### Add your push content

First, choose which device platform the message should target: **iOS**, **Android**, or **both**.

<Note>
  Vero only sends to users with a `device_token` matching the selected platform. If you select iOS, users with only an Android token won't receive the message at this step.
</Note>

You can then write your push content using the basic or advanced editor. Both support Liquid personalization. For full content guidance, see [Creating a push message](/vero-2/message-content/creating-a-push-message).

* **Basic editor** — Add a title, body, optional image, and iOS/Android tap-through links.

* **Advanced editor** — Write the raw iOS (`aps`) and Android (`notification`) payloads directly in a code editor for finer control.

## Reporting on a push node

Once your Journey is live or stopped, the push node displays **Sent**, **Opened** and **Converted (indirect)** stats directly on the canvas, so you can see how the step is performing without leaving the journey view. Opened stats require your app to be [tracking push opens](/vero-2/channels/push/push-integration-guide#tracking-push-opens-with-vero).

## Limitations

* Push is supported for event-triggered Journeys only.
* A user must have a `device_token` on their profile matching the selected platform to receive the push.
* Reporting is limited to Sent and Opened interaction stats. Clicked stats are not supported.
