It’s great to have choices in life. How many times have you thought about providing more actionable content with your campaign to drive better conversions? With our Notification Action Buttons, you will be able to provide up to 3 Call To Actions (CTA) – 1 default notification click, 2 buttons for notification actions – in just a single notification.
Now, when you open Send Notification in your PushAlert Dashboard you will see a new option for Action Buttons. You can choose to have one or two action buttons with a customized icon, title, and URL which you want your subscribers to click. The custom icon is not mandatory, while the Title and URL are required. We have also included search in the custom icons option so that you can easily find the most suitable icon for your buttons to get more engagement.
A notification with CTA buttons has shown up to 4X more engagement than a standard notification, users love the choice they are given and are more likely to click on more specific content related to the primary notification especially on mobile devices.
Support for Call To Action Buttons:
For now CTA buttons for web push notifications is supported only on Chrome for both mobile (Android) / desktop and Opera on Android. Firefox is expected to bring the feature soon.
