Push notifications work because they reach people at the right moment. Email gets filtered. Ads are expensive. Push lands directly on the device when it matters.

This guide gives you 9 specific plays with triggers, goals, and copy you can use today. No app required - web push works on all browsers.

Getting Opt-Ins

The biggest mistake: asking for permission on page load. You burn the channel before it starts.

When to ask

Ask after a micro-win - when the user has done something meaningful:

• Created their first project
• Imported data
• Connected an integration
• Generated their first output

The reward trick (3x opt-in rates)

"Allow notifications?" gets 3-8% opt-in. "Get 10% off - enable to claim" gets 15-30%.

Pushary has built-in Install Rewards. One toggle in settings. Works with Shopify coupons.

Without reward:
"Allow notifications?"
3-8% opt-in

With reward:
"Get 10% off - enable to claim"
15-30% opt-in

iPhone users

Web push works on all browsers. On iPhone (iOS 16.4+), users add your site to Home Screen first. Guide them with a simple one-sentence benefit, then ask for permission after they've done something valuable.

Writing Good Push Copy

One push, one job

If your push has two ideas, it has zero results.

Always deep link

Don't send people to your homepage. Link to the exact next step.

Write like a human

Bad: "We're excited to announce…"
Good: "Your report is ready."

Track next action rate, not opens

The metric that matters: how many people completed the intended action after getting the push?

Quick Start Guide

Start with these 5 events:

1. Signup completed
2. Setup step completed
3. First value event
4. Inactivity threshold (3-7 days)
5. Plan limit threshold (70-90%)

Then add timezone-aware send windows and A/B tests on timing.

Best first win:

If a user stops before first value, send a push 45 minutes later linking to the exact step they abandoned. This single flow often converts trial users to paid.
