[Tutorial] How to setup webpush notification for visitors to your site? -> Works for Wordpress at the moment.

Objectives: To be able to communicate with your visitors to site to create highly engaged audiences.

Step 1:
Install the following free plugin to your site
https://wordpress.org/plugins/onesignal-free-web-push-notifications/

Step 2:
Setup Google developer and obtain API - Login to your Google account and visit: https://console.developers.google.com/project?pli=1
If you need help to obtain API, please Google for it. There are many tutorials on this so I won't waste time here.

Step 3:
Register an account with Onesignal (100% free)
For image hosting, there are many free providers. Just Google.

Step 4:
Setup Safari Push
- After you install the plugin from onesignal and enter the login details from the account that you have created, go to the menu on the left that shows onesignal then choose wordpress demo. Next choose website push. Follow the guide from the next screen accordingly.

Feel free to play around with Onesignal, there are still many functions that I have yet explored. So maybe some others can provide a further guide on rest of the functions.

great tips, onesignal is really the best tool for webpush (and free).
for french readers, here a nice comparator : http://www.webpassion360.com/5-outi...s-push-via-chrome-firefox-safari-android-ios/

Here is the paid version. From my short glance at the sales page: http://pushleads.io/ for $27, I wonder what is the difference between the free method that I mentioned above and paying $27 for this? Anyone can enlighten me on this?

I have been researching this today and did a quick check to see if anybody on BHW had posted anything about it, this seems to be the only thread so far.

Here are some more Web Push resources:
Push API https://www.w3.org/TR/push-api/
Web Push notifications in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/push-notifications-firefox?as=u&utm_source=inproduct
PushCrew https://pushcrew.com/

Another really good one to check out is https://aimtell.com.

Has some pretty neat futures like automated notifications, triggered notifications, rss feed integration etc etc. Also tracks a lot of stuff by default (like page views, geo location, device type) and lets you create send notifications based on a combination of the criteria.

Good share man. Never heard about that before. Will try it out soon.

Hi guys,
what about make some script, that clicks on "Sure, send me notifications" button instead of visitor? You know, some kind off notification - jacker... It would be really cool idea. What do you think @shezboy

?

Implementing via Push Notification API is not a simple thing. There are a lot of things involved which need to be taken care off for it's implementation. SendMsgs.com provides a very easy script to include over your website and it's ready to go. The rest you can control from our beautiful dashboard

Thank you!

@asimarif I need that user automatically approve notification subscription by click on some element (maybe by click on button "NO" or X to close subscription popup).. You know to get subscribers from every user who cames into my website (it would by awesome)

. Do you support this solution?

Hi,
No your subscriber have to allow the browser native notification prompt. There is no way to bypass it as that's a technological limitation.

I hope that makes sense to you.

Thank you!

@Wafle Hm, yeah that kind of script would be great. Did you find something like this maybe?

Wafle · Apr 28, 2017
