Gravitec.net features
The Gravitec.net set-up process takes less than fifteen minutes. It has a no-code integration by using the WordPress plugin. Also, you will find the Shopify integration, and options to quickly integrate the service with any CMS and builders like WIX in the Gravitec.net dashboard.
Right after you install the service you can customize your permission prompt, add the bell widget and enable automation features.
There are five automations.
- RSS to Push (to send notifications from your RSS Feed)
- Tweet to Push (to automatically send pushes from your Twitter)
- Push Digest (to send the best daily/weekly content in one notification)
- Drip Campaigns (to send a series of pushes to new subscribers)
- Welcome Message (to welcome your new subscribers).
All of these features are ready to use without coding. You only need to set them up, and the service will automatically create notifications based on your website data and send them to your subscribers. In addition to these automations, you can set up triggered notifications such as Abandoned cart by using custom settings via REST API.
To segment subscribers, you can use unlimited custom tags, and filters by browser, operating system, city, country, and language.
All the campaign statistics are shown in Campaign History. Additionally, you will find the Reports section in the dashboard to compare and analyze campaign results.
OneSignal features
OneSignal provides integrations with the most popular CMSs and builders such as WordPress, Shopify, Magento and others. The setup process is mostly the same (except for WordPress) — you need to add your website URL, then set up a prompt, welcome notification, and advanced features such as webhooks, service workers, and click behavior. After that, you’ll need to download SDK-files and copy-paste the code from the OneSignal dashboard. So, yes, as we mentioned, OneSignal is for techy-minded people. Note, that if your website is WIX-based you’ll not be able to start installation without the OneSignal premium plan.
In OneSignal, you can create notifications manually which is time-consuming, or by using templates. It has six templates such as New Feature Announcement and Price Drop Alert. Alternatively, you can create custom templates. All of these templates can be used to automatically send notifications after a certain amount of time or if a user returns to your website.
In addition, you can set up automatically triggered notifications such as Welcome messages, Abandoned cart, and Re-engage inactive users.
OneSignal also has advanced features like Journeys (available for the Professional and Enterprise plans), Personalization, Segmentation, and A/B testing which requires preliminary preparation and implementation.
