Copy your Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) Credentials to Teak

In order to send notifications to your game on Android, Teak needs your Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) credentials. These can be found on the Firebase console.

We will be copying the values from the Firebase Console and pasting them in the Teak Dashboard.

You will need the following accounts to complete this step:

  • An account on the Firebase Console with an Editor or Owner role and access to your game

  • An account on Teak with access to your game
