Apple & Google Wallet

Authentify It is able to generate passes that can be installed in Apple & Google wallets.

The different flows are as follows:

Generate a pass: After clicking on “Add to wallet” button, our server will generate a pass (E.g .pkpass file for Apple) and send it to the phone, so that the user can install the pass in his wallet.

Update a pass: After a trigger or a manual update of the product, we ask Apple & Google to update the user’s pass. Apple & Google will call some of our webhooks to get the new updated pass, and update the user one.

Send a push notification: The flow of sending a push notification is exactly the same as for updating the pass. The process is identical in every way.

The only particularity is that Authentify has isolated parts of the pass, dedicated to push notifications. Therefore, sending a push notification means "updating" a section of the pass.

Indeed, Apple alerts the user during an update via a push notification. Most often it will indicate in the notification "Card Modified".

However, when only one section of the pass is modified, then it is this (modified) value that will be found inside the push notification.

Example:

We want to send "Hello" to the user, we modify the section of the pass dedicated to pushes with the text "Hello", and since only this section has been modified, then the text that will appear in the push notification will be "Hello".
