Push Notification
A push notification is a concise text message that appears on a user's mobile device to alert them about something important or to ask them to perform an action.
Servicenow docs provide the step by step process of creating push notifications but it doesn't explain the process of triggering notification via Events. As we know, events add the flexibility to perform the action from any server-side code.
