See **[Setting Up Firebase & GA4 With Reactiv](https://info.reactiv.ai/reactiv-help-center/setting-up-firebase-ga4-with-reactiv-reactiv-support-center?hsLang=en-ca)**   #### Step 1: Set Up Firebase Project 1. Go to the [Firebase Console](https://info.reactiv.ai/reactiv-help-center/sending-push-notifications-through-firebase-reactiv-support-center). 2. Click **Add Project** and follow the setup steps. 3. Once created, go to **Project Settings** \> **Cloud Messaging** to access your Firebase server key and sender ID. #### Step 2: Integrate Firebase SDK into Your App 1. **iOS:** Add Firebase SDK via CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager. 2. **Android:** Add Firebase to your Android project by adding the `google-services.json` file to your `app` directory and updating your `build.gradle` files. #### Step 3: Set Up FCM in Your App Code Add the necessary code to handle FCM tokens and receive notifications. 1. **iOS:** - Request user permission to show notifications. - Implement `UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate` to handle notifications. 2. **Android:** - Initialize Firebase and set up FCM in your `Application` class. - Handle notifications in `FirebaseMessagingService`. #### Step 4: Enable Cloud Messaging API 1. In the **Firebase Console**, go to **Project Settings** \> **Cloud Messaging**. 2. Enable the **Cloud Messaging API** for your project. #### Step 5: Send a Notification from Firebase Console 1.

Enter your **Notification title** and **Notification text**. 4. Optionally, you can add in a **Notification Image** aswell. Keep in mind that this will appear quite small on a users device 1.

Under **Target**, select either a specific user segment or app instance. - **Segment**: Target specific user properties or audiences. - **App instance**: Target individual device tokens (e.g., for testing).   **⭐️ Reactiv Tip:** To simply target all app users, match the below criteria. [![](https://info.reactiv.ai/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-Feb-13-2026-07-12-39-7037-PM.png)](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/zgqq9fe6/1228980883/a920fcaddb0d5b2037d6c1de0f4e/image.png?expires=1771011900&signature=73e793130ade40b2362c493164ad15b424c6df0727ebce820ade7e8e78bf64e2&req=dSIlHsB2nYlXWvMW1HO4zSOIRVMfvm2jVlT5CK1KOzzE%2B224Pm3mqRGu3DyP%0AG9RdqgvdErHckovJJ%2Bk%3D%0A) #### Step 6: Configure Notification Options - Set the **Delivery Time** (e.g., immediate, or scheduled). - Define **Conversion Events** if you want to track specific actions after users open the notification. **Deep Link Configuration:** To make your notification navigate to a specific product or collection when opened, add one of the following configurations under Custom Data: ##### Option 1: URL-Based Deep Link - Key: `url` - Value: The full URL of the product or collection you want to link to - Example: `https://yourstore.com/products/summer-dress` ##### Option 2: Structured Deep Link - **Key:** `type` ​**Value:** The type of resource (e.g., `product`, `collection`) - **Key:** `value` ​**Value:** The handle or unique identifier of the resource **Example:** For a product deep link, use: ​`type: product` ​`value: summer-dress-blue` ​ #### Step 7: Preview and Send Notification 1. Use the **Preview** feature to see how the notification will look. 2. Click **Send** or **Schedule** (if you specified a scheduled time). ### Step 8: Monitor Notification Analytics 1. Go to **Analytics** \> **Events** in the Firebase Console to track how users engage with your notification. 2. Use **Cloud Messaging** \> **Reports** to view metrics on delivery, opens, and conversions. --- ### Events Tracked This is a comprehensive list of all events that are tracked and sent to Firebase.
