Hi @lakeside_east, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

Be sure to check out our posts about [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1) and our [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8) as you get started.

[Alerts](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/alert) and [Push Notifications](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/push-notifications-by-one-signal) are two separate features. Alerts only work in app, while push notifications can be sent to a user regardless of whether they are using the app or not. If you are going to incorporate Push Notifications into your app, you will need to create a OneSignal account as Push Notifications are handled through their service. Firebase accounts are only required if you are setting up [Push Notifications on Android devices](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/push-notifications-by-one-signal#android-configuration).
