Good day.

How can I send Push Notifications through One Signal for my app made on Thunkable X?

Thanks.

Hi there,  
The push notification will appear on the device even if the app is closed.  
You don’t need to use Airtable to configure these Push Notification APIs to work with Thunkable. The component you will need is the [web API](https://docs.thunkable.com/thunkable-cross-platform/create/components/data/spreadsheet).  
I will give you an example of how to send a POST request using OneSignal, but there are other services you can use for this. You will have to set up your own account and payment for Push Notifications.

![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/100212778/0353c62db93fef5cc3dd8f86/Screen+Shot+2019-01-30+at+17.16.12.png)

As you can see from the documentation, the POST URL we need is ‘[https://onesignal.com/api/v1/notifications](https://onesignal.com/api/v1/notifications)’. This goes in the URL property of your Web API component.

![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/100213084/1ddb0cf5d61e1b593c1fca34/Screen+Shot+2019-01-30+at+17.18.20.png)

You can also add parameters to your POST query using the Web API component.

![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/100213404/41759c8f38a187e926e977ee/Screen+Shot+2019-01-30+at+17.19.12.png)

For instance, the section of the OneSignal documentation explains how you should add your Authorisation key:

> **[Keys & IDs](https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/accounts-and-keys#section-rest-api-key-app-auth-key)**
>
> Details on your OneSignal App Id, REST API Key, User Auth Key management and manually disabling your app.

We need to add a header to our request named ‘Authorization’ with a value of ‘Basic REST\_API\_KEY’ where REST\_API\_KEY is your API key. This is how you would do it in Thunkable:

![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/100214203/5482150e3bfe5c3ca059376d/Screen+Shot+2019-01-30+at+17.22.52.png)

The same goes for query parameters. Here we will add the ‘app’ parameter to our query, as described in the documentation:

[https://documentation.onesignal.com/reference#section-app](https://documentation.onesignal.com/reference#section-app)

![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/100214956/931b90eac0363699bbbe0ea3/Screen+Shot+2019-01-30+at+17.25.37.png)

When you are ready to send your POST request, you can use the corresponding block:

![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/100215201/0ec8d08e1900b89c805e9a38/Screen+Shot+2019-01-30+at+17.26.32.png)

If you have correctly configured the Web API component to work with the service you have selected, your users will receive push notifications.

Let me know whether or not that works for you,

Thanks!

@danyklein, it looks like what you suggested is a way to trigger notifications to users of the app.  
However, how do you actually pair the app to receive notifications from onesingal?

Hello,  
I already asked that but at the moment is not possible to do that in X version. you can do it via Firebase Realtime DB … the only way

Ciao Giuseppe,  
in effetti non è possibile inviare notifiche come pensiamo noi ma messaggi in tempo reale (che non è la stessa cosa).  
Per contro leggi il mio post di oggi (Notification in X Version) … in effetti l’unico modo è quello di utilizzare “Firebase Cloud Messaging”. C’è da lavorarci un poco …

Ciao Giuseppe  
in fact it is not possible to send notifications as we think, but messages in real time (which is not the same thing).  
Read my today post (Notification in X Version) … the only way is to use “Firebase Cloud Messaging”. We need to work a little …

Hi guys, but is it possible to integrate firebase instant messages with an app created with thunkable? if you have a guide that I can follow (consider my boundless ignorance)

It would work as a solution for me, do you know how to use one signal?

Not yet available but the developers have indicated that it’s something that will eventually make its way into Thunkable X.

Hey, thx for the post, i tried it but it’s not working ☹  
on the linked site [https://onesignal.com/api/v1/notifications](https://onesignal.com/api/v1/notifications)  
it says:“app\_id not found. You may be missing a Content-Type: application/json header.”|
