If you need to send a single campaign, you need to open the Create campaign in the side menu. The campaign creation page looks as follows::

Manual push notification integration on your site:

1. Register at https://push.gravitec.net/register
2. Add your websites to your account

3. The integration code with our service is installed on your site. 

4.  For HTTPS resources, install the SDK files.  In the personal account in the site settings, you need to download the SDK files and place them in the root folder of the site, so that they can be accessed via links: https://sitename.com/push-worker.js, https://sitename.com/manifest.json.  

The basic principle of the technology is that the base is formed solely from subscribers who have personally confirmed their desire to receive notifications. You can segment subscribers by the characteristics you need (gender, age, geography, interests, etc.) both during the collection process and later.

Learn more about segmentation here: https://docs.gravitec.net/hc/ru/articles/208958285-Website-SDK-API.

An alias is a personal identifier. This is a marker that allows you to send personalized offers, and trigger notifications. How are aliases assigned to subscribers? When a push subscriber visits the website and logs in there, their personal identifier from the website will be stored in the push system. It can be their email address, login, token, etc. After that, the subscriber can be identified and you can send them push notifications individually. 

A subscriber is assigned one alias, but can also have many tags.

Using REST API, you can perform the automated distribution of transactional messages (payment reminders, order confirmations, etc.).
