Overview

Web push notifications

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
