Self-service passthrough token

Self-hosted instances can use the official Zentik cloud to deliver push notifications to iOS (and optionally other providers) without configuring APNs, certificates, or Firebase yourself. To do this you need a passthrough token.

Steps

  1. Request a token
    Go to the self-service token request page and submit a request.

  2. Wait for confirmation
    Once your request is approved, the token will be available to your account.

  3. Use the token in the app
    As an admin user, open Server settings in the app. The approved token will appear in a selector. Select it to enable iOS passthrough (and optionally other passthrough options) for your self-hosted instance.

After you select the token, your backend will use the Zentik cloud only as a bridge to deliver notifications; content remains encrypted and is not stored. See Settings - Push Passthrough for the related server settings.
