I'm working on an app that supports multiple logged-in users. That is, a user can add multiple accounts. Something akin to the image below. Only one user can be active at a time. I want to be able to send targeted push notifications to logged in accounts regardless of it being active or not.

However, this is currently not possible with the CreatePushTarget https://appwrite.io/docs/references/1.6.x/client-flutter/account#createPushTarget enpoint since it requires one and only one identifier (FCMToken) to be associated with an account.

I'm asking this in case I missed something in the docs or if anyone has a suggestion on how to get this working.

P. S. Currently, sending push notifications with a function calling FCM apis directly instead of using Appwrite Messaging api.

TL;DR
Developers need support for sending push notifications to multiple logged-in users in an app, each with unique accounts but sharing the same FCM token. The current `CreatePushTarget` endpoint only allows one identifier per account, making this task challenging. To work around this limitation, consider directly calling FCM APIs instead of using the Appwrite Messaging API.
