Discover tips on tracking Firebase Cloud Messaging delivery stats with this easy-to-follow guide. Pick up strategies to boost the effectiveness of app alerts.
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) lets you send notifications and data messages across different platforms, reaching users wherever they are. A big part of running a good notification system is knowing how your messages are being delivered. Tracking these delivery stats is essential; it gives you a window into how far and how effective your messages are. Diving deep into Firebase's features might feel a bit intimidating at first, but breaking it down makes it much easier. We'll look at how to use Firebase's interfaces and other tools to keep tabs on your FCM delivery stats without too much fuss.
First things first, head over to the Firebase website. Once you're there, look for the Console button up in the top right corner. Click it. You'll need to log in with your Google account. After that, just pick the project you want to keep an eye on.
Alright, now that you're in your project, find the Cloud Messaging option on the left-side menu. Click on it. You'll see a Statistics section under the Cloud Messaging tab. This section gives you basic data about the number of messages sent, opened, and errored.
In the Cloud Messaging dashboard, you can check out various delivery stats. The Statistics pane shows three main metrics: Messages Sent, Message Opens, and Message Errors.
Want more details? Just click on any of these values. You'll get a detailed breakdown of that metric over time and per platform (Android, iOS, Web).
Clicking on "View Message Details" takes you to a new page. Here, you'll find more in-depth stats about the selected message, like delivery rate, open rate, conversion events, and detailed error reporting. This data helps you understand how effective your messaging campaigns are and spot any issues affecting delivery.
For those who love diving deep into data, Firebase integrates with Google BigQuery. With BigQuery, you can run complex SQL queries to get a deeper understanding of your FCM stats over time. This includes user behavior, message effectiveness, and other insights that aren't easy to see in the standard FCM console. To use BigQuery, you'll need to export your Firebase data to BigQuery. Just a heads-up, this feature is only available in the Blaze pricing plan.
