Hi,

I think it will be great to use your this custom function.

Kindly clear: Will this customized function will send Push Notification to iOS App and the app will be downloaded from iTune Store?

I'ld recommend to follow this thread on the FM Developer Forum. You might find some work arounds maybe with a 3.party iApp:
