 Flexibility and seamless integration with the existing framework are priorities for this new notification channel.
 
+`ace.send` already supports sending via multiple channels.
+It turns out that in order to send both push and email notifications,
+you need to add a new channel `push_notifications` to the `ACE_ENABLED_CHANNELS`.
+In this case, `ace.send` will send both push and email notifications,
+but it is worth noting that the necessary templates must also be present,

+It is proposed to add a new optional argument `limit_to_channels=None` to the
+`ace.send` method, which can specify the list of channels through which
+messages should be sent. This will allow more flexibility,
+for example in cases with discussion notifications, where we need to send
+a push for each new reply, while an email is sent only for the first reply.
+
+In this case, the code will look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    message_context = _build_message_context(context, notification_type='forum_response')
+    message = ResponseNotification().personalize(
+        Recipient(thread_author.id, thread_author.email),
+        _get_course_language(context['course_id']),
+        message_context
+    )
+    log.info('Sending forum comment notification with context %s', message_context)
+    if _is_first_comment(context['comment_id'], context['thread_id']):
+        limit_to_channels = None
+    else:
+        limit_to_channels = [ChannelType.PUSH]
+    ace.send(message, limit_to_channels=limit_to_channels)
+
+For the first response (as it is currently implemented), both notifications
+will be sent, and for all other replies, only push notifications will be sent.
+
+The `_build_message_context` method should also be extended:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    push_notification_extra_context': {
+        'notification_type': 'notification_type',
+        'thread_id': context['thread_id'],
+        'comment_id': context['comment_id'],
+    }
+
+
+The presence of `push_notification_extra_context` will be checked in the
+`CoursePushNotificationOptout`, and based on this, it will be determined
+whether the `PushNotificationChannel` is allowed.

 It should also be noted that django-push-notifications_ does not currently
 implement sending notifications to IOS devices using the FCM channel,
 although the FCM service itself supports it.
 This means that support for IOS devices should be added on the edx-ace side.
+At the moment, we didn't plan to add this directly to the
+django-push-notifications_ package, but to limit it to an additional method
+in `PushNotificationChannel` that implements the collection of the necessary
+context for iOS devices to send notifications to them as well.
