Solutions · Push & deep links
Prove the push arrived and the link landed — on a real phone
A push that never arrives, or a deep link that opens the wrong screen, quietly breaks the moment that was supposed to bring a user back into your app. Mobot verifies the entire path — server, APNs/FCM, device, tap, destination — on real hardware.
The five-hop path Mobot verifies
Your server
Push payload queued for delivery.
APNs / FCM
Simulators stub delivery here — there is no real device token to deliver to.
Physical device
Notification lands in the OS tray on real hardware.
Physical tap
A robot taps the real notification banner.
Verified deep link
The robot confirms the exact in-app destination.
Why it escapes simulators and scripts
Push delivery depends on a real device registered with a real carrier network and an OS-level notification service. Simulators stub delivery at the APNs/FCM step; there is no real device token to deliver to, so arrival is never proven. Deep links are resolved by the real OS handoff, which a scripted framework can only approximate.
How Mobot catches it
Robots trigger real notifications on real devices and verify the full path the way a user actually experiences it — delivery to the tray, the physical tap, and the exact in-app destination, including cold-start and backgrounded states. Every channel, every campaign, verified before the budget goes live.
What ships broken without it
- Silent delivery failures on specific OS versions or after a cold start
- Links that 404, open a webview login, or land on the home screen instead of the promotion
- Campaign attribution that never gets credited because the handoff dropped a parameter
- Re-engagement flows that work in the simulator and fail in the field
Who this matters most for
Growth and marketing teams running paid campaigns, product teams shipping re-engagement flows, and engineering teams tired of “works on my simulator.”

FAQ
Push Notifications & Deep Linking: common questions
Yes — search, social, email, SMS, QR, and in-app. Links are opened the way a user opens them, from the real source app or message, on a real device.
Yes. Real APNs delivery on iOS and real FCM delivery on Android, across the OS versions your users are on.
Yes. Teams monitor high-value links and notification paths on a schedule so a broken campaign is caught in hours, not after the spend.
