Test dispatch

Prerequisites

• A website (web app) to implement push notifications.

📘

Note

Use a different website than your main one for testing. You can create a test website using Firebase Hosting.

• A user account for Firebase Cloud Messaging, a free cross-platform solution for sending push messages.
• Optimizely Campaign test recipient list of type "Push" that customer support sets up for you.

Set up the website

1. Create a web app project in Firebase and provide Optimizely with the required information for the push assignment.
2. Integrate your website with the Firebase JavaScript SDK. See Integrating the Firebase SDK.

   📘

   Note

   If you use Firebase Hosting, see Firebase Cloud Messaging Quickstart for an integration guide.

3. Save the user registration token generated during the opt-in process.

4. Add a new recipient with the user registration token to the test recipient list in Optimizely Campaign. See Opt-in.
