Hi everyone,

I have searched for other topics relating to my but I can’t find any.

What i would like to do is send a push notification to a specific subscriber. I am building a taxi app, actually two apps, one for the driver and one for the clients. The driver will accept the pickup and send a push to notify the client.

I have tried the web api component but i can’t seem to get it working.

Tell me if i need to send screenshots to help getting solutions.

There are dozens of topics about push notifications with One Signal and people offering suggestions about how to send notifications to specific users. I haven’t set this up myself but maybe these will get you going in the right direction:

> 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…

> 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.

> Hi everyone, I am trying to make an app that will push notifications according to the date/time input by the user. Right now, I am trying to do that via OneSignal, but I couldn’t figure out how would I let OneSignal know the time to send. Or how to trigger OneSignal to push template notifications by adding Thunkable blocks? With all that been said, please don’t let me limit your ideas. My original plan was the app will make a sound according to the date/time input by the user. (yes, like an al…

> [Specific user notification](http://community.thunkable.com/t/sending-notification-to-specific-user-with-onesignal/150022/51) I followed this tutorial for setting up this feature in my app but the first step was’nt clear for me, so I followed [This tutorial](http://community.thunkable.com/t/sending-notification-to-specific-user-with-onesignal/150022/61) by @drted but somehow it isn’t working right for me. I wanted to know if in the tutorial by @drted we need to set up something in the web api block apart from the code, it tried various ways of debugging and once when I tried it ,it gave me an alert which was to be shown for an error with the right messages. What should I do to correct thi…
