The feature "connectif.subscribeToPushNotifications" is used to request subscriptions to web push notifications from the store or web via JavaScript. This feature can be used within Connectif web content to request a Push subscription.
This article is part of the guide to creating a custom integration.
If your integration is via a module, this tag will be added to your ecommerce site automatically.
How to use it
The "connectif.subscribeToPushNotifications" feature makes a request for permission, if the contact has not previously granted it, to subscribe to Web Push notifications.
It works asynchronously, so you can pass a "callback", function, which will execute the object of type "Subscription" as a result of the subscription.
Example
Once the feature is included, it will look like this:
connectif.subscribeToPushNotifications(function (error, subscription){
if(error){
return console.error(error);
}
if(subscription){
console.log('The contact has been subscribed successfully');
}else{
console.log('The contact has not been subscribed');
}
});
A "Subscription" type object will have the following structure:
{
endpoint : 'https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send/cCQFUMtzMf4hdph0-h5kYOWSik5sj990D',
expirationTime : null,
keys : {
auth : "Lhjk-p4B8977fdeYMDAKi2A==",
p256dh : "Hjkjyh79m-kjlH_bz5_bxD2Vk6Zx1ACsmiqHAtW6UrU="
}
}
