Web Push

Browser notifications as their own outbound channel

Web Push is not a toggle on chat. Connect it in Setup → Channels, store VAPID keys, then send from Library templates, Growth campaigns, and drip steps. Pricing is a flat platform fee, similar to email — no carrier.

  • Own Setup channel
  • VAPID keys
  • Campaigns & drips

Why it is separate from web chat

Chat needs the tab open. Push reaches a subscribed browser after they leave. Operators configure it once, then reuse the same templates in broadcasts and drips.

Frequently asked questions

Permission, wallet, and what Push is not.

Is Web Push the same as web chat?

No. Chat is the on-site thread. Push is outbound to a subscribed browser. Both can share a visitor, but they are different Setup channels.

Do I need the chat widget?

The widget is the usual place visitors grant permission when Web Push is connected. Sends still go through the Web Push channel, not as chat bubbles.

Can I use Push instead of SMS?

Only for browsers that opted in. SMS is a different channel. Do not treat Push as a phone-number blast.

Is there a carrier?

No. Pricing is a CoPulse platform fee, similar to email. Preview the Organization wallet on pricing.

Does Push book appointments by itself?

A click can open a page or continue a conversation. Autonomous or campaign “success” is still sends and engagement — not a booked visit unless your pipeline records one.

Where is it configured?

Setup → Channels → Web Push, then Library and Growth. Organization and Project scope apply; there is no personal vanished inbox.
