Push alerts

A push alert is one notification on your phone for one event. RevenueHog builds the alert once per event, then checks each recipient's own rules before sending it to their devices.

Which events pushCopy Anchor Link

Alerts follow the same event taxonomy as the live feed, but only some kinds ever become a push.

The informational feed kinds never push: a refund request, a declined or reversed refund, a queued plan change, a price increase, churn risk and a billing failure. They are things to read, not to be woken up for.

Family Sharing duplicates have their own switch (Family Sharing duplicates, off by default). Sandbox events push only if you turn on Sandbox alerts.

What a push looks likeCopy Anchor Link

On iOS an alert has three lines: the title says what happened, the subtitle says where, and the body gives the detail.

New purchase
Only Recipes (App Store)
Purchased Only Recipes Pro (Annual) for $19.99

On Android the subtitle is folded into the title, for example New purchase · Only Recipes (App Store).

A trial cancelled before any money was charged is retitled Free trial cancelled, and the body says how far into the trial the customer left.

Other pushes use fixed copy:

At most three TestFlight feedback pushes are sent per sync run, newest first. The lowest-rating note on the reviews roundup appears only when a review is 2★ or lower.

How an alert is filteredCopy Anchor Link

For each device in your workspace, RevenueHog applies these checks in order. The first one that fails drops the push for that person only.

Time-sensitive deliveryCopy Anchor Link

When you set a minimum amount, purchases, renewals and conversions that clear it are delivered as time-sensitive, so they break through Focus and the scheduled notification summary. Nothing else is time-sensitive, milestones included. Apple's guidance is that time-sensitive must reflect something you asked to be interrupted for, and setting a threshold is that request.

Sound and stackingCopy Anchor Link

Each push plays the sound you chose (default Cha-ching). On iOS, alerts stack by app, by event type or all together according to your Grouping setting. Milestones have their own stack when grouping by app. See Notification preferences.

On Android, custom sounds are not yet applied: every sound except Silent plays the device default.

Testing deliveryCopy Anchor Link

The DEVICES card on Settings > Notifications (web) lists each registered device with its name, platform, environment (sandbox or production) and when it was last seen. Each row shows Reachable or Server not configured.

Send test push sends 🐷 test push, your alerts are wired up. to every device you have registered in this workspace. It deliberately ignores your rules and the subscription, so you can check delivery before subscribing.

If the push is accepted but does not appear, make sure notifications are allowed for RevenueHog in iOS Settings. A test push is a visible alert.

Background pushesCopy Anchor Link

Every recorded event also triggers a silent background push to every device in the workspace, at most one per device per minute. It refreshes the app's data and reloads widgets. It ignores rules and the subscription, shows nothing and needs no permission.
