  • You can create a mobile action group only if mobile is selected as a supported channel.
  • You can have a total of two mobile action groups per custom notification, and each group can have a maximum of three actions.
  • When sending a notification, you must specify which mobile action group to use. The action group configured here defines the available actions, but it won't appear in the notification unless you provide it in the send request.
