TIP
Next, we will show some differences between WebPushr and Gravitec.net features.
Gravitec.net features
With Gravitec.net, you can send notifications from the service and WordPress dashboard, by using REST API and Zapier/Integretaly workflows. The best part is that right after you have installed the service you can set up automatic notifications without coding.
There are five options.
- Drip campaigns sends a sequence of notifications
- RSS to Push sends pushes from your RSS Feed
- Tweet to Push sends notifications from your Twitter account
- Welcome message says “Hello” to new subscribers
- Push Digest sends the most popular content items in a single notification
Notifications can also be automatically sent from your WordPress dashboard right after you post a new article. You just need to tick this option once you have installed the plugin.
Gravitec.net has a robust set of segmentation options. You can create segments by operating system, browser, country, city, and language. Additionally, there is an option to create as many custom segments as you want by using RESTful API.
With API, you can also set up triggers to send transactional notifications and abandoned cart alerts.
Push campaign results are displayed in the report section of the Gravitec.net dashboard, where you can track clicks, the number of delivered and opened notifications. In addition, you can compare campaign results screening them on bubble charts, graphs, and line charts.
WebPushr features
WebPushr has three options to send notifications: through the WordPress plugin, from the service dashboard, and by using the REST API. You can create custom segments based on subscriber location and device, on-site behavior (weeks since last visit), and subscription date.
In the service dashboard, you can manually create campaigns, then send them right away or set up a schedule to send them later. If you want to automatically send campaigns you need to set up Journeys. This feature allows you to send a sequence of notifications with a certain content. You can track campaign results in the Overview section that shows the overall number of clicks and impressions, and check the Geo report if you want to know responses by country/city. Also, you can see how people opt in in the realtime Optin Funnel section.
