Perfecty Push Notifications

By Perfecty

Description

Push Notifications that are self-hosted, you don’t need API keys to integrate with external Push Notifications providers that will charge you later. It’s Open Source and the information is stored in WordPress, so that you can send Push Notifications directly from your server for free!

In a rush looking for Push Notifications alternatives now that you’ve exceeded the free-tier of your current provider? Loosing your users every time you change your Push Notifications provider? Worried about where the Push Notifications information is stored? With this plugin you don’t worry about that.

Easily migrate your users from other providers, send custom Push Notifications, or automatically when publishing a post, and see the stats in your Dashboard.

Features:

  • Self-hosted: total control of your information, and no need of third-party integrations.
  • Migrate users from other Push Notifications providers like OneSignal.
  • PWA Friendly (Tested with Super PWA) and AMP plugins (Transitional mode).
  • Send Push Notifications on posts publishing. You can use the feature image of the post or customize the title.
  • Send custom Push Notifications: you can easily change the icon, the image or the URL to open.
  • See the stats in the Dashboard.
  • Customizable public widget.
  • The user authorization tokens stay in your server when they subscribe to receive your Push Notifications.
  • Easily comply with GDPR: all the Push Notifications information is processed and stored in your server.
  • Open Source: no hidden fees, and open transparency.
  • Offline browser Push Notifications through Push API.

Requirements:
– gmp extension for message encryption (optional)

FAQ

I am using a third-party Push Notifications provider, can I migrate my users to my server?

Absolutely, Perfecty Push can override the previous service worker from your user’s browser. Once they visit your site, the worker is automatically replaced and you can start sending Push Notifications directly. For that you need to first remove your provider’s JS SDK, and then enable the Remove conflicting workers option in Perfecty Push. Go to Perfecty Push > Settings > Public Widget.

After v1.0.7 Perfecty Push uses the /perfecty/push scope (you can also customize it), so it’s friendly with any PWA/AMP plugin that uses the root scope (e.g. Super PWA plugin). However, if you use the Remove conflicting workers option, it will deregister any existing worker, so be careful with this option.

Why do I need the `gmp` extension?

Sending push notifications involves encryption and gmp (GNU Multiple Precision) brings the best performance for such operations.

The gmp extension is optional in PHP >= 7.3. In PHP 7.2 you can’t generate the VAPID keys without it, however you can still generate them with openssl. In any case, it’s recommended to use gmp for better performance.

How do I install the `gmp` extension?

It depends on the operating system, but in theory you install it as a regular PHP extension. More information: Install the gmp extension

Is this working in production?

This plugin has been deployed in a real site with more than 800.000 monthly visits and around 8.000 Push Notifications subscribers (~240.000 notifications/month), however we recommend you to test it before deploying it to a production environment.

August 30, 2021

Very Cool

August 15, 2021
A very cool plugin. No registrations, restrictions and other things. Very simple settings, but it works perfectly. Thank you to the developers for their efforts!

Good plugin, but something is missing

August 12, 2021
Very easy to use, but to my mind there are 2 important features missing: 1. Possibility to change the design of subscribe widget - at least font size (Especially on mobile devices, the text is too small and can be difficult for many to read); 2. Custom post type support for automatic news notifications; 3. Also a PO file would help translate the plugin.

Awesome plugin and support

July 4, 2021
Highly recommended plugin! Never seen developers responding and taking actions so fast and actually implementing suggestions and listening to the feedback.

Please add these functions

May 29, 2021
The plugin is very simple and reliable, but lacks the function of hiding the bell completely and churning out the call to action and Badge: url link. Please add these functions
