Need some help with setting up OneSignal notifications that have dynamic deep links

Archived from the Bravo community forum (2021–2026). Some answers may refer to older versions of Bravo.

The functionality I'm looking to achieve is basically to automatically send the user a push notification once I update my database with an article. The notification must have a deep link that takes the user directly to the article page. 

There is a mention of how the OneSignal API can be used to do something like this here: https://docs.bravostudio.app/integrations/push-notifications#using-the-onesignal-api

But no clear instructions on how to pull off this integration with Bravo Studio.

I would be really grateful to anyone who can help me achieve this interaction.

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with OneSignal with deep links. However, for another person to be able to help you, they are going to need more information. Please share your exact issue, the steps to reproduce and what you have tried to solve it already. Good luck :)

I believe I know how to do this, but haven't bothered yet. I'm stuck having issues creating deep links first.

  • Xano backend is updated with new database item.
  • Segment installed watching for new API events *
  • Segment to OneSignal to send push notification (tbd if thats a OneSignal "automated" setup or a OneSignal "journey" (FYI Journeys are wicked expensive from OneSignal).

 

* But... I'm not sure Segment would see the DB update because its just you manually adding it, and not a Endpoint Call. You might need to create a "admin app" or website to publish your articles to trigger the push notifications, etc.My two-cents: If you're willing to put in the human labor updating the DB. Just send 2 more min and hand the correct push notification.

just so you guys know, automatic generation pf deep links is not supported by bravo yet. This is confirmed by bravo support team. But, I am quite curious to see if anyone has a work around. Keep us posted 😉

Did you manage to setup Deep links in general? I'm getting bugs.

But I've the same setup as you:
Xano (DB) & Auth, Bravo (FE)

Not sure if its Firebase being cranky my Auth isn't with them?

Wrote something in this thread and want it removed? Request removal

Still stuck?
