require 'urbanairship'
airship = Urbanairship::Client.new(key: 'application_key', secret: 'master_secret')
named_user = Urbanairship::NamedUser.new(client: airship)
named_user.named_user_id = 'named_user'
named_user.update_attributes(attributes: [
    { action: 'set', key: 'first_name', value: 'Firstname' },
    { action: 'remove', key: 'nickname' },
    { action: 'set', key: 'last_name', value: 'Lastname', timestamp: Time.now.utc }
])

Send Push to Audience with Attribute Specifications

This will send a push to an audience who meet the specifications of attribute we set here. This example is using a text attribute where we are looking for audience members whose favorite food includes ‘apple’. Some examples of what this could return would be ‘apple’, ‘pineapple’, or ‘apple pie’.

require 'urbanairship'
UA = Urbanairship
airship = UA::Client.new(key:'app_key', secret:'secret_key')
new_attribute = UA::Attribute.new(client: airship)
new_attribute.attribute = 'favorite_food'
new_attribute.operator = 'contains'
new_attribute.value = 'apple'
push = airship.create_push
push.audience = new_attribute.payload
push.notification = UA.notification(alert: 'Hello')
push.device_types = ['android', 'ios', 'web']
push.send_push

Note

This should return a 202 response
