Push notifications in your app

Send notifications to your users — order confirmations, reminders, real-time alerts. Works on iPhone, Android, and desktop.

Push notifications are a great way to bring users back to your app. OverSkill makes them easy.

What push notifications can do

• Welcome new users — Hey! Thanks for signing up — here's what to try first.
• Order updates — Your order has shipped!
• Reminders — You have 3 tasks due today.
• Real-time alerts — Sarah just commented on your project.
• Marketing (use sparingly) — New feature: AI-powered search is live.

Setting them up

Add push notifications. When a user gets a new comment on their project, send them a notification.

The AI:

1. Adds an Enable notifications prompt to your app
2. When users opt in, registers them
3. Sets up the trigger (in this case, new comments)
4. Confirms it's working

What users see

On their first visit after the feature is added, your app prompts:

[Your app] would like to send you notifications → Allow / Block

Users who click Allow get notifications. Users who block don't. They can change their mind in browser/OS settings any time.

Notification formats

Each notification has:

• Title (bold, top line)
• Body (the message)
• Icon (your app's icon by default; you can override)
• Click action (which page to open when tapped)

Example setup:

When someone replies to a user's comment, send them a notification with title [Replier name] replied and body the first 60 characters of the reply. Tapping it opens the comment thread.

Scheduled notifications

Combine push with scheduled tasks:

Every Monday at 9am, send each active user a notification with their week's top 3 tasks.

Avoiding annoying users

A few rules to keep your users from disabling notifications:

• Don't send too many — more than 3-5 per day starts feeling spammy
• Make them actionable — every notification should have a clear next step
• Time them well — no 3am notifications unless it's truly urgent
• Let users opt out by type — let them mute marketing while keeping order updates

The AI helps with all of these — just describe what you want and it sets up the controls.

Limits

• Free apps: 1,000 notifications/month
• Paid plans: unlimited

You'll see a warning if you're getting close to your limit.
