In this article, we’re going to show you how to add and edit your push notification icon. And like we said, it’s super easy.
Lad os dykke ned.
Why Add a Push Notification Icon?
A push notification icon is a small, distinctive image that represents an app on a user’s device. It appears alongside push notifications to visually identify the source app of the message or alert.
This icon helps users quickly recognize which app or website is communicating with them without having to read the notification’s text.
Adding a push notification icon is a smart move for a few reasons:
- Recognition: Just like seeing a familiar face in a crowd, we instantly recognize icons. When your app sends a notification, the icon acts like a little wave, saying, “Hey, it’s me!” This helps users quickly identify which app is calling for their attention.
- Branding: Your icon is like a tiny billboard for your app. It’s a part of your brand identity. Each time users see it, they’re reminded of your app. This can help keep your app top-of-mind.
- User Experience: Users often have many apps installed, and it can be a real jumble. A unique icon helps them manage their notifications more efficiently. They can see at a glance which notifications they want to check out first.
- Professionalism: An app with its own notification icon looks more polished and professional. It shows that you’ve put thought into even the small details, which can improve overall user satisfaction.
- Functionality: Sometimes, the icon can also convey additional information. For example, a messaging app might show different icons for a new message vs. a missed call. This adds an extra layer of functionality and user convenience.
So, a push notification icon might be small, but it plays a big role in how users interact with your app and perceive it!

Once you’re done creating your account, head over to the PushEngage dashboard and follow along:
Klik på Webstedsindstillinger » Webstedsdetaljer og klik på knappen Klik her for opsætningsinstruktioner:
Klik på fanen WordPress og klik på knappen Installer PushEngage WordPress Plugin for at installere pluginnet på dit websted.

Step #3: Add or Edit Your Push Notification Icon
Go back to your PushEngage dashboard. Click on Site Settings » Site Details and under Upload Your Site Icon, you can upload an image:
The image you upload is your push notification icon. Keep the dimensions of the image at 192px x192px for the best results and make sure that the image size is less than 1MB. You can use a JPG, PNG, or even a GIF for animated brand marks. Just makes sure that the icon is consistent with brand marks that you use on social network sites.
Hvis du skal redigere dit ikon senere, er det her, du gør det. Upload blot et andet billede, og du er færdig!
Step #4: Send a Test Notification to Check Your Notification Icon
We recommend creating a website welcome message to test your push notifications. Welcome push notifications are great for:
- Bekræftelse: Du vil bekræfte, at din nye abonnent faktisk er tilmeldt dine web-push-notifikationer.
- Genaktivering: Velkomstkampagner er en god måde at få dine abonnenter til at vende tilbage til dit websted.
- Salg: Du kan give dine nye abonnenter et velkomsttilbud med rabatter, gratis gaver og kuponer.
Lad os oprette en velkomst-push-notifikationskampagne nu. Gå til dit PushEngage-dashboard og gå til Kampagne » Drip Autoresponders » Opret ny Drip Autoresponder:
Giv din drip-kampagne et navn, som du nemt kan huske. Indstil derefter den første push-notifikation til at blive sendt umiddelbart efter, at en besøgende abonnerer på dine push-notifikationer.
Du kan redigere notifikationen for at oprette brugerdefineret indhold til din velkomstbesked. Når du er færdig, skal du klikke på knappen Tilføj ny notifikation for at tilføje flere notifikationer til sekvensen. Du kan redigere de nye notifikationer og indstille en brugerdefineret forsinkelse mellem hver notifikation.
Du kan tilføje så mange notifikationer, som du vil, men vi anbefaler at oprette en velkomst-drip med 5-7 notifikationer.
Derefter skal du vælge dit publikum i Drip-indstillinger:
You can send different welcome drips for different segments by using the Send to Specific Audience Group option. This is especially useful when you’re segmenting visitors when they opt for push notifications.
When you’re happy with your targeting, click on the Activate Autoresponder button.
Og du er færdig!
If your push notifications were installed correctly, you should see a welcome notification like this one:
And as you can see, the notification icon is pretty prominent in our example!
If you’re new to push notifications, you should follow a full-blown push notification testing process before you go live. It’ll help you troubleshoot common issues with the functionality before your visitors see them and start complaining about a broken user experience.
