Browser push notifications is a great tool for driving traffic back to your website. As you might have already noticed, a lot of popular websites and blogs have integrated a browser push notification system. It’s been a month since I started using Convertifier and I am happy with the results. This tutorial focuses on integrating a browser push notification feature using Convertifier.
What is Convertifier?
Convertifier is a great tool for getting back user traffic using browser push notifications. How does it work? It’s simple. Whenever a user visits your website, he will be greeted with a Show Notifications dialog. If a user clicks on allow, push notifications will be delivered to him as soon as you publish a new article.
