Push Devices

Last Updated: Tuesday, April 3, 2018

Overview

A Push Device is a device that has the Vibes Push SDK and has registered itself with the Vibes Platform. It is uniquely identified by a vibes_device_id.

To effectively target by Person and Person custom fields, the Platform needs to have associated a device with a Person. This association is done by a sever-to-server call sending the vibes_device_id and external_person_id to associate the device to the Person. Vibes requires a server-to-server call to associate accounts to devices to prevent account hijacking.
