Short answer

How can I send targeted push notifications with my AI?

Your AI uses OneSignal to pull lists of user segments and send messages to specific players or groups. You get precise control over who receives your notifications based on real-time data. This breakdown shows how the AI handles the segmentation and delivery.

Where every notification lands.

The outcomes of your requests

Depending on what you ask, your AI will produce one of these results.

SEGMENTATION

Targeted user lists

The AI pulls specific groups from OneSignal. You get a clear view of which users fall into which categories.

DELIVERY

Sent push messages

Your AI sends the actual notification to the selected segment. The message goes live on the users' devices immediately.

AUDIT

User profile data

The AI fetches specific details about individual players. This helps you verify who is in a segment before you hit send.

HUMAN

Final message review

You decide if the message is ready. The AI prepares the target and the text, but you maintain the final say on the content.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a notification.

The AI moves from identifying the right people to executing the delivery.

  1. Identify the audience

    The AI looks through your existing OneSignal segments to find the group you want to reach.

    list_app_segments

  2. Verify user details

    If you need to be sure about a specific user's status, the AI checks their individual profile data.

    get_player_details

  3. Draft the notification

    The AI writes the message based on your instructions and the segment's context.

    send_push_notification

  4. Execute the send

FAQ

How the OneSignal task behaves

    Yes, if you have a segment that includes all users, the AI can target that group.

  • 02

    No. The AI only sends a notification when you explicitly tell it to do so in your prompt.

  • 03

    Can the AI delete user segments?

    No. The available tools only allow the AI to list segments, get player details, and send notifications.

  • 04

    Can I see the specific player ID before sending?

    Yes, the AI can use player details to provide you with specific IDs or profile info.

  • 05
