Setting Up Web Push Notifications

1. Visit the "Web Push" tab and click "Get Started."
   
   
   
   
2. Enter your website URL in the "Website URL" section. If you have a website in your “List Settings,” we will add this for you automatically, but you can change it if you would like. Remember to include "https://" in front of the website URL.
   
   
   
   Note: we can only support secure websites which begin with HTTPS.
   
   
3. Next, you can add a logo which will be shown on your “Opt-In Prompt” and Web Push Notification messages. You can change this anytime. If you already have a logo added in “List Settings," we will load it here by default. You may upload one or choose one from your AWeber image gallery.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Once complete, click "Save."
