Instructions on how to integrate push notifications can be found in this article.
The pushSubscriptionPrompt method allows clients to have full control over when the push notification permission prompt is displayed to a user. This might be useful for clients who wants to control when and where the push prompt is going to be shown for the customers.
There are several options available for implementing this feature. The automated display of the prompt works independently with a delay, allowing clients to use the delay programmed by Samba. This way you can program the prompt to be triggered on desired sites and do not worry about programming the delay.
If you want us to turn off the automated display of the Push prompt window and use pushSubscriptionPrompt method on your own instead, please contact our support team. Do not forget to tell us if you want to turn off the delay as well.
Browsers Compatibility
It’s important to note that certain browsers enforce specific requirements for manually triggering the push notification permission prompts. Currently there are no problems with calling pushSubscriptionPrompt method with integration hosted by samba.ai and self – integration with opt-in turned on.
However there could be some problems when the opt-in is turned off in self-integration. It is because of the special security policy. It is used to protect users from intrusive and automatic requests for access to various browser features. To respect the policy you have to attach the method to the “handler”. This way after placing the code into the console, you need to “click” on the page somewhere to trigger it. Down below we have listed different versions of the code for different browsers:
Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera GX
document.body.onclick = function () { return diffAnalytics.pushSubscriptionPrompt(); }
Use this code and place it into the console to trigger our pushSubscriptionPrompt if you are using Chrome, Firefox or Opera.
Microsoft Edge
document.body.onclick = function () { console.log("handler fired"); return diffAnalytics.pushSubscriptionPrompt();}
Use this code and place it into the console to trigger our pushSubscriptionPrompt if you are using Microsoft Edge browser
Safari
We are currently not supporting our pushSubscriptionPrompt method on Safari browser.
