Getting Started with Web Push
Web Push notifications help you to reach users through their preferred browser.
Basic Information
Some of the key benefits of Web push include its improvement of your reach and engagement. You can choose who you'd like to reach with each push, reminding returning visitors of an abandoned cart or new visitors that you have an on going sale. You can use Web Push with or without Mapp Intelligence. This allows you to set up your Web Push with our Tag Integration system or Java script
Prerequisites
- An existing Google Firebase account.
- An existing Mapp Engage account.
- (optional) An existing Mapp Intelligence integration with pixel version 3.2.1 or higher.
- Permission from visitors to contact them. This will be done with an automated pop up in their browser when you attempt to reach them
Please note you will need to speak with your Account Manager about setting up Web Push in your account.
