Push notifications are similar to desktop notifications, also known as web notifications, but with some key differences. While desktop notifications are requested directly by the client, push notifications come from a server. The main advantage of push notifications is that they work even if your device is offline or AiX is not open. They are persistent and remain visible until closed.
Push notifications require an external service to function. We support Pusher and OneSignal, both of which are free for up to 2,000 users/devices. Note that Pusher does not support iOS devices, so you will need to use OneSignal if you have an iOS device. By default, we use OneSignal and provide an OneSignal account; configuration is not required on your part.
