What is a push notification ? Why it matters ?

Jul 31, 2018 Updated Feb 10, 2020 2 min read

The emergence of Progressive Web Apps meant the arrival of a new possibility: sending web push notifications.

They are received by users directly in their web browser.

This feature is supported by the majority of recent browsers, and the list of them is growing every day.

If you've subscribed to a native GoodBarber offer and you've activated the PWA version of your app, you have the option to send push notifications to your native iOS, Android, and PWA users.

Being able to directly contact all of your users regardless of the device they're using is a significant advantage.

On the other hand, in some cases it can be a good idea to adapt your communication based on the type of user.

Certain messages may only apply to web users (to get them to install the application for example), or only native iOS users (maybe to inform them of an update that only concerns iPhones).

Basically, it's good to have the option to target users based on their platform, and now this is possible.

How does it work?

In the menu Users > Push > Send, you'll find the page to create push notifications.

As usual, you can write your message, select an action, schedule the sending, etc.

The update can be found in the Recipients sub-menu. Here, in just one click you can choose the platforms that will receive this notification.

On the side in the notification preview, you'll see the total number of recipients as well as the platform repartition (PWA, native Android, and native iOS if you're subscribed to the iOS Premium offer).

All that's left is to finish setting up your notification and to send it to the users you chose !

Find answers in podcasts with GoodBarber Chatbot

Take a local radio station with live programmes, a schedule and interviews available on demand in its app. Every recording has a title and a description. Those help listeners browse, but an interview often contains useful details that never make it into the summary.In our example, the episode is called “The city we share”. Its description introduces a conversation about everyday life in the city. During the recording, an urban planner explains the city's approach to summer heat: planting trees along school routes, adding shade to playgrounds and replacing some paved surfaces with planted areas.None of those measures appears in the title or description. A listener remembers the subject and asks:Which episode explained how the city plans to reduce summer heat?We have added audio podcasts as knowledge sources for GoodBarber Chatbot so questions like this can lead back to your programmes. There are two levels: the written information you publish about each episode, and the spoken content you choose to have transcribed.
