# Using the Blank Push Command

A Blank Push utilizes the same service that sends MDM profiles and commands. It's meant for verifying a connection to Apple Push Notification Service (APNs), but it sometimes helps to complete pending commands that may be stuck in the queue.

Each MDM command sent to a device consists of the command itself as well as a separate APNs notification that, once received, tells the device it needs to connect with Kandji to retrieve that pending command. The Blank Push sends just this APNs notification without adding a new action for the device to complete.

### Sending a Blank Push

1. On the Device page, click the **Device Action Menu** in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
2. Within the Device Action Menu, click **Send blank push**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/0844b095-d720-4a7b-bb17-ec97d9bc6e41/Images/Documentation/jsmtp864elunzyiivvp83dyymwffiabhvg.png)
3. In the Activity tab of the device, you will see a pending BlankPush command. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/0844b095-d720-4a7b-bb17-ec97d9bc6e41/Images/Documentation/xwbp3dxfk8__zztwbaechmgvyzlope0udq.png)
4. Once the command has been sent, it will show **MDM Command Completed: BlankPush** in the device's Activity Stream. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/0844b095-d720-4a7b-bb17-ec97d9bc6e41/Images/Documentation/4zdb7woaysomwlrdbq0fq9egsqx2xbf_ig.png)
