Send Data to App via Push Notification

When sending a push notification you may optionally send data to your app in the push notification payload. For instance you may include a set of criteria data to populate a search/filter form on your page, or a sequence of pages to open based on current conditions in your app. When composing a new push notification within the OneSignal portal (or via REST API), include Additional Data fields as shown below. Once the push notification is opened by the user a JavaScript function on your page, median_onesignal_push_opened()will be called with these fields as an argument.

↔️Median JavaScript Bridge

Javascript

// You define this function on your page, but do not actually call it
// If present on a page it will be called by the app when the page is loaded
function median_onesignal_push_opened(data) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
}
// Expected output
{
  'airport': 'sfo',
  'direction': 'outbound',
  'dateRange': 'week'
}

🚧

targetUrl

As per our documentation Open URL in App, if an Additional Data field targetUrl is provided, this URL will be launched in the app when the notification is opened. If you prefer to open a URL conditionally in JavaScript use a different field, such as openUrl, to avoid the automatic page launch.
