Overview

Web Push enables you to send push notifications directly to web browsers, even when users aren't actively on your site. This is perfect for:

• Re-engagement notifications
• Breaking news and updates
• Time-sensitive alerts
• Abandoned cart reminders
• New content notifications

For setup instructions, see the Web Push channel documentation.

How Web Push Works

1. Permission Request: User grants permission in their browser
2. Subscription: Browser generates a unique push subscription
3. Storage: Subscription is stored with the user's profile via the User API
4. Delivery: Notifications are sent via the browser's push service using VAPID
5. Display: Browser shows the notification even if the site is closed
