Send a Push Notification for a Post with PushEngage and AI
Point your AI at a post and get a push notification written to fit, shown to you in full, and sent only after you approve it in your browser.
Prerequisites
A connected site running PushEngage 4.2.10 or newer on WordPress 6.9 or newer, already connected to your PushEngage account.
I use PushEngage on my WordPress site. Write and send a push notification for this post: [post title or URL]. Use the PushEngage abilities and the WordPress REST API. First check the connection status and stop if the site is not connected. Read the auto-push settings, and if auto-push is on for this post type, warn me that subscribers may already have been notified about this post and ask whether I still want to send one. Read the post. Write three options, each with a title of at most 85 characters and a message of at most 135 characters, and show me the character counts. Say what the post offers in plain words: no clickbait, no all caps, no emoji unless I ask, and nothing the post does not say. Use the post's own URL as the link, and its featured image only if the image address starts with https. After I pick one, do not send it yet. Tell me how many active subscribers I have, and tell me plainly that this goes to all of them, that the PushEngage abilities have no way to target a segment, and that a sent push cannot be recalled. Wait until I clearly say to send it. Then send it with the status set to sent, and do not try to save it as a draft first. Tell me the send needs my approval in the browser, give me the link, and remind me that the approval screen shows the exact text and is my last chance to stop it. After I approve, list my recent notifications and show me the one that went out, with its status and sent count.
Skip pasting the full prompt. Drop this into your AI on a site that already has WPVibe:
Run the “Send a Push Notification for a Post with PushEngage and AI” recipe from the WPVibe cookbook on my connected site.
A push notification is eighty-five characters of title and a hundred and thirty-five of message, shown for a few seconds on a lock screen. Writing one well is a small, specific skill, and it comes up right after you publish, when you are done with the post and want to move on. So the notification is the post title pasted into a box, or it does not get sent at all.
You name the post and the AI reads it, then writes three options that fit PushEngage’s limits and say why the post is worth opening. You pick one. Nothing goes out on the AI’s say-so: PushEngage marks sending as a sensitive action, so WPVibe stops and asks you to approve it in your browser, with the exact title, message, and link in front of you. That screen is your final check. After you approve, the AI lists your notifications and shows you the one that went out.
Paste the prompt with your post. Read this part twice: a notification sent this way goes to all of your subscribers. There is no audience or segment choice in what PushEngage exposes to AI today, so use the PushEngage dashboard when you want to target a segment. A push cannot be recalled once it is sent, which is why the prompt has the AI show you your subscriber count and wait for a clear yes. This recipe sends directly and does not save a draft first, because saving a draft through the ability does not work in PushEngage 4.2.10. If you have auto-push on for posts, do not also send one by hand, or your subscribers get two.
Outcome
A push notification for your post, written within PushEngage's limits, that you approved word for word before it reached anyone.
