Apex Web Service for Firebase Messaging
Although Oracle offers enterprise-grade chatbots that can easily be integrated into APEX, you can also call APEX rest services to integrate with Google Firebase. Here's an example code that you can text in your PL/SQL code on insert or update triggers to send push notifications to your support team's mobile devices and meet your SLAs.

APEX_web_service.g_request_headers(1).name := 'Content-Type';
APEX_web_service.g_request_headers(1).value := 'application/json';
APEX_web_service.g_request_headers(2).name := 'authorization';
APEX_web_service.g_request_headers(2).value := 'key=your key goes here';
l_clob := APEX_web_service.make_rest_request(
p_url => 'https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send',
p_http_method => 'POST',
p_parm_name => APEX_util.string_to_table('notification:to:data'),
p_parm_value => APEX_util.string_to_table('{"title": "Patriots vs Rams","text": "5 to 1"}:"your key":{"message":"New Ticket has been assigned to you"}')

apex_web_service.g_request_headers(2).name := 'authorization';
apex_web_service.g_request_headers(2).value := 'key=your key goes here';
l_clob := apex_web_service.make_rest_request(
p_url => 'https://your-digital-assistant-web-channel-goes -here',
p_http_method => 'POST',
p_parm_name => apex_util.string_to_table('notification:to:data'),
