Hello, This is my first message on this forum and I hope to find help. I use thunkable X and One signal. Sending push notifications works well. Now I would like to be able to send a push notification from the application to a specific user. I know how to get the user ID for push with the block : “in Push\_notification call GetUserId”. The problem is how to send a specific message to this user? Thanks for your help. ---

Hey @regisby-if 👋 welcome to the community. We have #Tutorials and DIY Guides on how to do this with the Player ID: > [@Sending Notification to Specific User with Onesignal](http://community.thunkable.com/t/sending-notification-to-specific-user-with-onesignal/150022): > > Hi All, The Thunkable X documentation only shows you the possibility of using OneSignal to send notifications on bulk to your list of subscribed or active users. However many applications require the ability to send a notification to a specific user based on an action that occurs within the app. For example when I request an Uber, a notification is sent directly to me when my Uber is one minute away. We can do similar with OneSignal and Thunkable by doing the below (Note: you can’t live test P… Hope that helps. ---

Hi Jacob I started to try to implement your solution for One signal. But in you exemple, at the third point I don’t understand how to configure web api : _3 - In order to send Push Notifications on a triggered event we are going to use OneSignals REST API, place a WEB API component into your app and fill in the details as shown below: URL: [https://onesignal.com/api/v1/notifications](https://onesignal.com/api/v1/notifications) 121 In the Property Field add “Authorization” and in the value field “Basic” & YOUR\_AUTHORISATION\_CODE which you can find here 60 Then repeat the Process with “Content-Type” in the property field and “application/json” in the value field. These will be your Headers for the API call._ In your text you say “as shown below”, but there is no image below. I tried to clicked on the url : [https://onesignal.com/api/v1/notifications](https://onesignal.com/api/v1/notifications) 121 but it show a 404 one signal error. SO know I don’t understand what i fill with the different field : - URL - QueryParameters : property and value ? - Body : ? - Headers : Property and Value ? Can you help me ? ---

I have continu to search how to implement and I think I have understand. But now, when I want to send a push notification to a user I have a message error : {“status”:400, ”error”:”There was a problem in the JSON you submitted: unexpected character at line 1, column 3 [parse.c692] in ‘{ “app\_id”: “5138xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx8871ce”, “contents”: {“en”: “TEST”}, “headings”: {“en”: “YOUHOU”}, “url”: “”, “include\_player\_ids”: [“56e4xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxc”] }”} Can you help me ? ---

I am having a similar issue. The guide is good but very difficult to follow as the writer has assumed the audience has a lot of knowledge. ---

I got this working finally. See my post here. > [@Sending Notification to Specific User with Onesignal](https://community.thunkable.com/t/sending-notification-to-specific-user-with-onesignal/150022/83): > > This all looks a little flaky. I tried the solution proposed by @jacob1 and couldn’t get that to work. I got error messages about invalid character at line 1 column 3. I tried the solution proposed by @drted and couldnt get that to send anything. So I combined the two methods. If you are having issues getting this to work try this approach. In the query parameters of your web\_api component add parameter app\_id. in the value field add your onesignal api id In the headers section add t… ---
