6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the security information comprises a password that authorizes the workflow engine to initiate the single request that causes a plurality of push notifications to be sent to a plurality of mobile computing devices running different mobile computing platforms.

7. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

registering a computing device of the plurality of computing devices; and

storing a token for the computing device in a data store.

8. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that cause a processing device to:

execute a workflow comprising a conditional statement, entity identification data, and security information, wherein the entity identification data identifies a group of users and the security information authorizes a workflow engine to initiate push notifications to the group of users;

generate, in view of the conditional statement of the workflow, a request that comprises the security information, wherein the request comprises a single request to initiate a push notification to a plurality of computing devices of the group of users;

identify a plurality of tokens corresponding to the plurality of computing devices of the group of users;

access a hierarchical data structure comprising a plurality of nodes representing computing platform variants of the plurality of computing devices;

group the plurality of tokens in view of the hierarchical data structure into a first group and a second group, wherein the first group comprises tokens associated with a first computing platform variant of the hierarchical data structure and the second group comprises tokens associated with a second computing platform variant of the hierarchical data structure;

produce a plurality of messages compliant with a plurality of push notification infrastructures, wherein a first message of the plurality of messages comprises the first group of tokens and wherein the second message of the plurality of messages comprises the second group of tokens; and

transmit the first message to a first push notification infrastructure associated with the first computing platform variant and the second message to a second push notification infrastructure associated with the second computing platform variant.

9. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the first message comprises the first group of tokens, a message text, and an identifier of a mobile application.

10. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the first push notification infrastructure supports a first mobile computing platform and the second push notification infrastructure supports a second mobile computing platform, wherein the first mobile computing platform comprises Apple® iOS® and the second mobile computing platform comprises Android® Operating System.

11. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein each token of the first group of tokens identifies at least one of: a mobile computing device or an application running on the mobile computing device.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the push notifications is presented by at least one of: an alert message or an icon badge on a mobile application.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the security information comprises a password that authorizes the workflow engine to initiate the single request that causes a plurality of push notifications to be sent to a plurality of mobile computing devices running different mobile computing platforms.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the processing device further to:

register a computing device of the plurality of computing devices; and

store a token for the computing device in a data store.

15. A system comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to:

execute a workflow comprising a conditional statement, entity identification data, and security information, wherein the entity identification data identifies a group of users and the security information authorizes a workflow engine to initiate push notifications to the group of users;

generate, in view of the conditional statement of the workflow, a request that comprises the security information, wherein the request comprises a single request to initiate a push notification to a plurality of computing devices of the group of users;

identify a plurality of tokens corresponding to the plurality of computing devices of the group of users;

access a hierarchical data structure comprising a plurality of nodes representing computing platform variants of the plurality of computing devices;

group the plurality of tokens in view of the hierarchical data structure into a first group and a second group, wherein the first group comprises tokens associated with a first computing platform variant of the hierarchical data structure and the second group comprises tokens associated with a second computing platform variant of the hierarchical data structure;

produce a plurality of messages compliant with a plurality of push notification infrastructures, wherein a first message of the plurality messages comprises the first group of tokens and wherein the second message of the plurality of messages comprises the second group of tokens; and

transmit the first message to a first push notification infrastructure associated with the first computing platform variant and the second message to a second push notification infrastructure associated with the second computing platform variant.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first message comprises the first group of tokens, a message text, and an identifier of a mobile application.
