Hi Jacob, I am trying to create a calendar app where each user can schedule notifications. Is there a way to use this method of sending an individual user a specific notification but at a scheduled time in the future? Thank you in advance ---

Hi Guys, today January 20 2024 I made it work with the help of the OneSignal API docs and postman to check the parameters and Headers of the API with the following block result, it works flawlessly!!! I hope it helps!!! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/8/08c8a3cc922a6640a9a277f0e3831561b49b2562.png) ---

Certainly! Here’s the revised text in English: * * * **Tutorial: Sending Push Notifications to Specific Users via REST API in Thunkable** For many months, perhaps years, I struggled to make the Push Notificator work using the REST API method. However, in January 2024, I came across the latest post and decided to give it another try. After numerous unsuccessful attempts, I saw a glimmer of hope when revisiting the provided guidance. The key lay in the API call header, where I previously made mistakes. Initially, I was only including the “Authorization” and “Content-Type” headers. However, following a recent suggestion here, I realized that it was also necessary to add the “external\_id” header to the request. Although I didn’t fully understand at the time, with the help of some API call responses, I soon identified why the previous attempts had failed. I removed the “accept” header and left only the following headers: - `Authorization`: Bearer (your API key) - `Content-Type`: application/json - `external_id`: GetmypushId I also understood that to send a push notification to a specific user, it was necessary to declare it as a list, even if it was only a single user to be notified. This is because when creating a JSON object, as it is in a list block, it is interpreted as an array , indicating the possibility of having numerous items inside. By configuring the blocks in this way, I finally managed to make the API call and notify the specific user, even in test mode, without the need to download and install the application on the phone. I sincerely hope that this approach resolves the problems of many other developers, just as it resolved mine. Happy Thunking! **Example API Call in JSON:** ```json { "app_id": "your_app_id", "include_player_ids": ["user_id"], "contents": {"en": "Your notification message here"}, "headings": {"en": "Notification Title"} } ``` * * * I hope this text better reflects your experience and is helpful to the Thunkable community! If you need anything else or have any questions, feel free to ask. ![Captura de ecrã 2024-03-25 105715](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/3/23f2782fdff9939317a6942105fe778a63a3c034.png) ---
