## Description

Appilix turns your WordPress site into a native Android/iOS app. It gives you a 
Push Notification API and a user-identity mechanism, but using either from WooCommerce
order events requires writing and hosting your own integration code — not realistic
for Appilix’s largely no-code audience.

Appushy closes that gap. Connect your Appilix App Key and API Key, turn on the order
statuses you want to notify customers about, and Appushy handles the rest: identifying
which customer to notify, sending the push, and logging what happened — automatically,
every time an order changes status.

**What Appushy does**

 * Connects to your Appilix app with your App Key and API Key, and validates them
   before you rely on them.
 * Sends a native push notification when a WooCommerce order reaches a status you’ve
   turned on — Processing, Completed, On Hold, Refunded, and more.
 * Sends a native push notification automatically when a student enrols in a Tutor
   LMS course — free, no Pro license needed.
 * Sends a native push notification automatically when someone gets a new direct
   message via Better Messages — free, no Pro license needed.
 * Identifies customers automatically, including guest checkouts, so pushes reach
   the right device without the customer doing anything extra beyond opening the
   app once.
 * Every trigger’s notification lives on one screen — Appushy  Push Automation —
   where you can see, and toggle, exactly what gets sent and when.
 * Logs every send attempt (last 100, with automatic pruning after however many 
   days you choose) so you can see what was actually sent, and why a customer who
   hasn’t opened the app yet didn’t receive anything.
 * Retries automatically for a few minutes when a customer’s device isn’t registered
   with Appilix _yet_ — a common, expected timing gap right after checkout, not 
   a failure.

**What Appushy needs from you first**

Appilix’s Push Notification module requires Firebase to be connected on the Appilix
side before any of this works — that’s an Appilix-side setup step, not something
Appushy can do for you. See “Before you start” in the plugin’s own documentation,
linked from the Settings screen, for the full checklist (Firebase project, Cloud
Messaging enabled, app rebuilt and reinstalled with the new configuration baked 
in).

**Honest limitations**

 * Push notifications reach app installs only — not browser visitors. That’s a different
   technology (browser push), not something this plugin does.
 * A customer must have opened your app and been identified at least once before
   a targeted push can reach their device. Appushy handles the identification automatically
   once that’s happened.
 * Delivery depends on Appilix and Firebase Cloud Messaging. Appushy logs that it
   successfully handed a notification to Appilix’s API — not that a specific device
   actually displayed it.
 * The Push Notification API is a paid Appilix module, not available on Appilix’s
   free trial.

This plugin bundles the Plus Jakarta Sans, Instrument Serif, and JetBrains Mono 
typefaces (SIL Open Font License 1.1) for its setup wizard — see assets/fonts/OFL.

### External Services

This plugin connects to the **Appilix** push notification service (https://appilix.
com) to send native app push notifications. This is required for the plugin’s core
functionality — without it, no notification can be sent.

**What is sent, and when:**

 * Your Appilix **App Key** and **API Key** (entered by you in Settings) are sent
   with every request, to authenticate it as coming from your app.
 * A **customer identity** — either the customer’s email address or their WordPress
   user ID, depending on which you choose under Settings  Identify customers by —
   is sent so Appilix can target the notification to the right device. This is sent
   both when a customer logs in or completes checkout (to register their identity
   with Appilix) and with every notification (to target it).
 * The **notification title and message text**, which may include the customer’s
   first name, the order number, and the order total, substituted into the message.
   This is sent every time an order reaches a status you’ve enabled a notification
   for, and when you use “Send test push.”

This data is sent directly from your WordPress server to Appilix’s API (`https://
appilix.com/api/push-notification` and `https://appilix.com/api/push-notification-
token`) — never through any third-party server other than Appilix’s own.

Appilix’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy govern how this data is handled once
received: https://appilix.com/terms-conditions and https://appilix.com/privacy-policy.

## Installation

 1. Upload and activate Appushy like any WordPress plugin, or install it directly from
    the WordPress Plugin Directory.
 2. Works with WooCommerce, Tutor LMS, and/or Better Messages — activate whichever 
    you use; Appushy detects each one automatically and never requires any of them 
    just to install.
 3. You’ll be taken to a short guided setup wizard automatically after activation. 
    Paste your Appilix App Key and API Key (found in your Appilix dashboard’s Push 
    Notification API panel) when prompted, then send a test push to confirm delivery
    to a real device.
 4. Prefer to skip the wizard? Use “Skip setup” on any step to go straight to Appushy
    Settings, where you can connect and test manually at any time.
 5. Go to Appushy  Push Automation and turn on the order statuses you want to notify
    customers about.

## FAQ

### Do I need a paid Appilix plan?

Yes. The Push Notification API is a paid Appilix module and is not available on 
Appilix’s free trial. You’ll also need Firebase connected on the Appilix side — 
see “Before you start” in the plugin’s documentation.

### Why isn’t a customer receiving notifications?

Almost always because they haven’t opened your app and been identified yet. Appushy’s
log will show “Not delivered — Hasn’t opened your app yet” for these — this is the
expected, normal outcome for a customer who hasn’t used the app, not an error.

### Why do automatic notifications sometimes arrive a minute or so late?

That’s WordPress’s own background task scheduling (Action Scheduler), not Appushy
or Appilix — by default it only runs when someone visits your site, so on a quiet
site a notification can wait briefly for the next page load before it’s sent. For
instant delivery regardless of traffic, set up a real server cron job instead of
WordPress’s default (`define( 'DISABLE_WP_CRON', true );` in `wp-config.php`, plus
a real cron entry hitting `wp-cron.php` — most hosts support this, and it’s the 
same fix WooCommerce recommends for order-processing timing). Manual sends aren’t
affected — those go out immediately.

### Does this work for guest checkouts?

Yes, when identifying customers by email (the default). Appushy registers the order’s
billing email with Appilix automatically on the order-confirmation page, whether
or not the customer has an account.

### Can I customize the notification text?

Not in the free version — each order status has fixed, pre-written text with variables
like the customer’s name and order number filled in automatically. A template editor
is planned as part of a future paid tier.

### Is my Appilix data safe?

Your App Key and API Key are never displayed after saving (masked in the UI) and
never appear in the notification log. See “External Services” above for exactly 
what’s sent to Appilix and when.
