Got sick of waiting for an update so added the above to my functions.php to stop sending notifications on update.

I then have the checkbox for “Send notification when post is published or updated” checked and it only sends on publish.

Perfect. That works!

The notification title is now the post title and the body is the first few characters of the post.

This use to be post title and post excerpt.

We quite often have quizzes which are simple shortcodes as the first few characters of the post. The shortcodes are now being added to the push notification. Is it possible to add an option somewhere we can select an option for the text. Ideally, this is the post excerpt again.

Yes, I’m trying to work out how to use the API as well.

I’ve setup some new key/secret via the Tools -> Rest API section but cannot find any documention or examples on how to use this?

I assume it should be quite straight forward. Little help?

Yup, I’m getting the same.
