Attribute values are associated with push messages to provide a way for the message
to include certain types of information in the push notification.

## Before you begin

Complete the following:

1. [Activate push notifications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/fPbiPvA0orzM4ShlqpnZ4Q "Several plugins must be activated to use push notifications. If you have the Mobile UI (com.glide.ui.m) plugin active, push notification plugins are automatically activated.")
2. ( iOS only) [Upload a push certificate to your instance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/lU0_F2BiLNTXEWj8SZvB8A "Upload a push certificate to your instance so that you can use it later to connect your iOS device to the push notification system.")
3. [Create a push application record for your custom app](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Uasca9pJX3foHO5a5gEApw "Register your customized mobile application with your instance to receive push notifications for the application.")
4. [Create push message content](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/tQgkGu7bKXir9hT62A_u4w "Push message content specifies additional JSON content in the push notification payload that is sent to the push provider.")
5. [Create a push message attribute definition](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CNPz233RBWtfsmVmw_Z8rw "Push message attribute definitions allow you to create reusable properties for push message content specification.")
{#t_CreateAPushMessageAttributeValue__ol_a5d_cpb_sjb}

Note:  
This process describes configuration used in the ServiceNow mobile app. Push Notification configuration for the current ServiceNow mobile UI can be found at [Mobile push
notifications](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=sg-mobile-push-notifications&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-mobile&ft:locale=en-US)
