A system comprising:
- an interface in communication with a provisioning services layer comprising at least one server with a memory, the interface configured to:
- acquire account information corresponding to an account;
- acquire device information related to capabilities associated with each of a plurality of devices, each of the plurality of devices being associated with the account;
- based on the device information, determine one or more applications that are supported by at least one of the plurality of devices;
- determine that one or more messages identifying at least one of the one or more applications have not been received by the plurality of devices;
- subsequent to determining that the one or more messages have not been received by the plurality of devices, cause the provisioning services layer to generate a plurality of messages, wherein the plurality of messages includes at least one message intended for each device in the plurality of devices, and wherein each message of the plurality of messages includes a link to at least one of the one or more applications;
- and
- cause the provisioning services layer to transmit the plurality of messages.
