Map functions with push actions on the actionable push notification
Associate functions to the actions in your notification so the instance uses the correct function for each action.
Before you begin
Role required: admin
Procedure
System Mobile > Mobile Push Notifications > Push Notifications, and open the notification you created in previous steps.
In the Push Action Instances related list, click New.
In the Push action instance form, fill in the fields.
Field Description Push Notification Push notification associated with this push action instance. This is automatically filled in with your push notification. Application Scoped application associated with this record. This is automatically filled in with the current application. Push Action Push action from your push notification record. Select one of the available actions. Button Function to associate with the push action. Select an action you created in previous steps. This action will trigger when a user uses the action listed in the Push Action field. Add a push parameter to your push action instance.
If your push action receives a value from your user, you need to configure a push parameter to pass this value to your record. For example, if you create a reject action that requires your user to enter a reason for the rejection, the action must have a parameter to pass that text value to your approval record.
Verify that your push action requires a parameter.
In the push action instance form, click the preview icon (
Preview icon\) next to the **Push action** field. If the push action has a value of `Text Response` in the **Response type** field, you must create a push parameter.

6. In the **Push Parameter Values** related list, click **New**.
7. In the push parameter value form, select your parameter in the **Parameter** field.

8. Click **Submit** to save your push parameter value.
- In the push action instance form, click Submit.
Example
This example notification uses accept-rejectwcomments-back in the Category field. If you click the preview icon (

In the push action instance shown here, the Approve push action is selected in the Push Action field, and the Approve REQ /w comments function is selected in the Button field. The instance executes this function when a user taps the Approve button in their notification.
