Notifications & Communications

An app that never talks back to its users doesn't get used for long. This step adds the communication layer — push notifications, email, and transactional messages — through a simple API rather than building your own notification infrastructure from scratch.

What you'll do

  • Set up a OneSignal account and connect it to your app
  • Implement push notifications for key events
  • Implement transactional email notifications
  • Test notification delivery on real devices
  • Decide which events actually deserve a notification
