Overview

Median integrates with OneSignal's native SDKs to help you manage user consent for push notifications and comply with privacy regulations like GDPR. This section covers how to configure user permissions, delay registration, and utilize OneSignal’s tools to manage privacy and messaging preferences.

Key User Flows

Push Registration and Privacy Consent

By default, your app prompts users for push notification permission on the first launch and begins communicating with OneSignal, which includes generating a oneSignalUserId. To enhance user trust and support privacy-first strategies, you can:

• Delay the permission prompt and trigger it manually using JavaScript.
• Defer all communication with OneSignal until after the user grants explicit consent.

This configuration helps you stay compliant with privacy regulations and improves user experience by offering more control.

iOS Soft Prompt

On iOS, OneSignal recommends using a soft prompt—a custom in-app message shown before the native push notification prompt. This pre-permission message allows you to:

• Educate users about the value and frequency of notifications.
• Improve opt-in rates by offering context before triggering the system-level prompt.

User Management

Leverage OneSignal’s user management features to send tailored push notifications. You can associate users with unique identifiers such as email addresses or account IDs to:

• Deliver personalized messaging.
• Target individual users across multiple devices.

Subscription Management

OneSignal enables you to manage subscriptions using data tags, which classify users into custom segments. Use tags to:

• Allow users to self-manage their notification preferences.
• Programmatically subscribe or unsubscribe users from categories like promotions, updates, or alerts.
