Send push notifications via FTP

Use this workflow to send push notifications without API calls. Create one CSV row per recipient, upload the file to the FTP directory, and Netmera processes the file to send the notifications.

Step 1: Prepare FTP access

Confirm that FTP Push is enabled for your application. Obtain the FTP host, port, upload path, and credentials from Netmera or your DevOps team.

If your network uses IP allowlisting, provide Netmera with your public egress IP address.

Step 2: Create the CSV file

Create a UTF-8 encoded CSV file. Use a semicolon (;) as the delimiter.

Add the columns in this exact order:

1. ExternalID

2. Text

3. Deeplink

Each row represents one push notification for one user. Use this format:

ExternalID;Text;Deeplink

For example:

12345;Welcome! Check out what’s new.;https://example.com/welcome
67890;Exclusive offers for you.;https://example.com/offers

ExternalID identifies the recipient. Text is the visible push message. Deeplink defines the destination when the recipient selects the notification.

Use one push notification per row. Do not use ; inside the Text value. It is interpreted as a new column.

Step 3: Add line breaks when needed

Use \n in the Text value to display a line break in the push message.

For example:

Welcome!\nEnjoy exploring our latest features.

The recipient sees:

Welcome!
Enjoy exploring our latest features.

Step 4: Name and upload the file

1. Give the file a unique name.

2. Include a timestamp in the filename.

3. Upload the CSV file to the FTP directory provided for your application.

For example, use push-20260810-0900.csv. A unique filename prevents a new upload from being confused with a previous file.

Step 5: Confirm the delivery behavior

Netmera processes the uploaded file and sends the notifications to the listed recipients.

Push notifications sent through FTP include the Inbox option by default. If your application uses Inbox, these notifications also appear there.
