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.

1. In the query parameters of your web\_api component add parameter app\_id. in the value field add your onesignal api id

2. In the headers section add two items:-

Then in the blocks section I have this.

Also of note, the app variable PushToDrivers is a list of driver pushID’s from our database. We check this list each time we send a notification to see who is logged on so we only send to drivers who are working.

This approach appears to work so give it a go if you are stuck.

Cheers
