What it does
Getting a message in front of past visitors usually means waiting for them to come back or asking for an email address. This extension takes a different route through browser push notifications. A popup asks visitors whether they want to receive notifications from your site, using simple Allow and Disallow buttons. Anyone who accepts joins your subscriber list, and from then on you can reach them in their browser, even when they are not on your site.
Once you have subscribers, you create a push campaign by choosing an icon, writing the message text and adding an optional redirect URL that opens when someone clicks the notification. The opt-in popup can be styled to match your branding, so the request feels like part of your site. On the server side, the plugin relies on the PHP GMP extension, which your hosting provider can enable if it is not already active. It suits promotions, announcements and news updates on sites of many sizes.

Features
Visitors see a popup with Allow and Disallow buttons, giving them a clear choice about subscribing to your browser push notifications.
Everyone who accepts the opt-in is added to a list of subscribers, which becomes the audience for your future push campaigns.
Build a campaign in a few clicks by adding a custom icon and your own message text before sending it to subscribers.
Attach a link to any notification so subscribers who click it land on the page, offer or article you want them to see.
Notifications arrive in the subscriber's current browser, so your message can reach people even when they are away from your site.
Adjust the look of the opt-in popup to match your site's branding and keep the subscription request consistent with the rest of your design.
The plugin works with the PHP GMP extension on your server, and guidance is available on asking your hosting provider to turn it on.
