Does anybody using a product for easy integration of Web Push Notifications?
I want to be able to send web push notifications but having difficulty and spending too much setting it up.
Anybody out there using a product, that makes it as easy as placing a script to my web app to be able send web push notifications to my web app users?
You should check https://pushpushgo.com They have API access.
What difficulties do you have? I just went through this myself, and it does take a bit of reading and poking around to figure things but it’s not impossible.
I also did some research on available push services, but decided on building my own, for privacy reasons. Let me know your stack and any issues you might have and I’ll answer to the best of my abilities.
I was looking for a tool that would setup a web push notification with an easy js api integration. But I could not find one.
What I found was OneSignal. With the free plan, I can have some capacity but i am losing the individual information. oneSignal enables me to send push notification to all users or some segments.
I need to be able to send tailored messages to individual users.
I ended up implementing my own implementation, using the Firebase cloud messaging after I could not find anything and could not get a response to this post :D
I am wondering if there are other people out there having difficulty setting up web push notification infrastructure. Could this be a product?
Hi. I'm one of the founders of OneSignal.
You can certainly use OneSignal to send personalized notifications to individual users. In fact, these types of notifications represent a majority of all the notifications we send.
We provide a guide and code examples on how to use OneSignal for these kinds of transactional messages in our documentation here: https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/transactional-messages
I hope that helps! If you do run into any problems, I'm happy to share some suggestions here or you can use our support chat system.
Heyy, thanks for reaching out!
I will definitely check out that feature!
You can use their API to send push notifications to individual devices (one or more). You'd need to get the device ID and associate it with the user (or whatever your business model needs to associate notifications with). After that, you can filter users on your end, get their device IDs and send push notifications only to those user(s). Basically make segments on your side, even dynamic segments (selecting users based on... whatever you imagine).
I think with some clever implementations this can be made into a product. Let me know if you want to discuss this further.
Yeah, if you are sending individualized push notifications, OneSignal might not be what you are looking for. It could definitely be a product, as I was looking for something like that already.
If you take a look at my product site, I use web push as a replacement for an email-based mailing list:

However, I am also in the midst of implementing it for my billing system, and have half a mind to turn it into a product too, if I get round to it someday. If you don't do it first I guess? Good luck!
haha, well, competition is always good, benefits all parties and those who will be using those products :)
Not sure when I can get to it though.
No worries, I do have a few ideas around the themes of privacy and decentralization. Too many projects to embark on, perhaps we should have a chat to exchange ideas some time? 😃
Yes sure, how should we do it?
I followed you on Twitter, DM me!
Not only I DM'ed you, but added you on Linkedin as well!
A little late to the party but please checkout our product -https://magicbell.io. Even if you did end up using something else/building your own, I'd love to speak with you and learn more about your experience. Thanks!
Take a look at https://subscribers.com
oh yes, this looks more like what I was looking for. Did you make this?
I think TruePush has what you need, with a generous free tier
yeah, the free tier seems to be very generous. But after a quick glance, they seem to focus more on mobile push notifications. I am looking for something for web push notifications. Am i missing something?
Web push notifications is what they do.
They tell you that those notifications can reach the user's browser on the mobile, but they still mean web push notifications.
I suggest that you contact them if you're not sure if they do what you need
will do, thanks!
