Work Faster and Smarter with New Push Templates and Improved CSV Uploads

New Ready-to-use Push Templates

With over 1 million developers and marketers sending 8 billion messages daily, we get a lot of data to draw insights from. We’ve analyzed how companies successfully use OneSignal for push and now offer professionally-designed templates to help you get up and running. These templates cover common use cases and will save you time and resources, so you can engage with your users and drive results faster.

OneSignal’s pre-designed web and mobile push templates are now live and available for use. For best results, we recommend customizing the template with your own branding and personalizing the messaging to be relevant for your business in order to achieve higher engagement with your audience.

Marketing Templates

Reminders
This template includes a sense of urgency. Use it to send a reminder about an upcoming deadline or other time-sensitive event. Get better results by modifying the content with more details about your specific event.

Promotions / Discounts
This template provides a tangible offer to your customer. Use it to communicate your promotion or discount. Get better results by modifying the details to fit your sale and including a sense of urgency if relevant.

Ratings
This template primes the user with 5 emoji stars. Use it to ask your users to rate your app and add your deeplink to the app store. Get better results by sending this notification after a moment of delight, such as completing a level in a gaming app, or winning a bid on an auction website.

Product/Feature Announcements
This template communicates something new to the user. Use it to announce new products and features and drive users back to your app or website to engage. Get better results by modifying the details to mention what you’re announcing.

Transactional Templates

Price Drop Alerts
This template alerts the user about something they’ve engaged with and has a strong CTA. Use it to let your customers know when their interested item is on sale. Get better results by personalizing the content with information about the specific item.

Action notifications
This template communicates engagement that is directly relevant to the user. Use it to let your user know when there is an interaction or development that’s relevant to their account. Get better results by personalizing the content with information about the specific action.

These templates are available for all plans. Since they are meant to help our new OneSignal users onboard, we’ve only added the templates for new accounts as well as for any existing apps that haven't sent many push notifications yet. If you don’t see templates in your dashboard and would like to have them added to your account, please fill out this form.
