Configuring web push notifications

To be able to send web push notifications from the Dialog Insight application, you must first identify and configure the website for which you want to display notifications.

Configuring web push notifications in Dialog Insight requires  the help of a technical person who is responsible for the website* for which to display notifications. Depending on the company, this person can be a web developer, a web integrator, a webmaster or any other person with a similar role.

Configuration of your website

  1. In the Push notifications page, click Add your website.
  2. On the Web configurationpage:
    1. Change the name of the website by clicking the edit icon.
      This name is only used internally in the Dialog Insight platform.
    2. Enter the domain name of your website.
       This domain must be secured (https).
    3. Add the languages available on your website and in which you plan on sending notifications. It is important to check them after adding them so that they are available when creating notifications.
  3. In the Presentationsection:
    1. Add the default icon to use in your notifications.
      This image should represent your company and easily recognizable by your visitors. You can change it if needed at the time of creation.
  4. In the Firebase Cloud Messaging section:

    1. Copy-paste the entire code (script) displayed in this section on ALL the website pages where you want to offer subscription to web pushes, inside the <head></head> tags, or just before the </body> tag.
    2. Click the Download the file button, and copy-paste this file at the root of your website.

Integration of the subscription request

To display the subscription request, do the following.

  1. Integrate the subscription request on your website on a clickable element such as a button, an image, a link, etc.
    We recommend that you let the visitor perform the action of requesting, instead of displaying the request automatically upon visit.
  2. Add the following function:
    DI.WebPush.RequestPermission("language code");

    The language code must be the 2 character code corresponding to the subscription language. This code is shown next to each language you have selected in the Configuration section (see Configuring the use of web push notifications).

    Examples
    //Example on a text link:
    <a href="#" onclick="DI.WebPush.RequestPermission('en');">I wish to receive notifications</a>
    
    //Example on an image:
    <img src="image.jpg" onclick="DI.WebPush.RequestPermission('en');" alt="I wish to receive notifications" />

Testing

Although this step is not mandatory, we strongly recommend to perform it as it allows you to test the display of web push notifications on your website, but not on your own pages. The demo page is used to perform a test without affecting your own website's pages.

Here are some instructions for unsubscribing notifications for a specific site:
