Subscriber Migration

Push Notifications work purely based on FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) tokens generated. These tokens are uniquely generated for each device & later used for sending messages to respective devices. They get generated when a push notification calls firebase methods via Javascript.

When you switch from a competitor vendor to Netcore Cloud platform, you need to make sure of certain steps to ensure smooth migration of your exiting subscriber base

1. Remove previous vendor's JS

To proceed with generating tokens & Netcore Cloud's platform to receive them, you need to make sure you have removed the previous vendor’s integration & completed Netcore’s customer engagement platform Javascript integration properly, otherwise it won't work!

Applicability

1. Web Push Notifications - Google Chrome
2. Web Push Notifications - Firefox

3. Fire below code snippet before CEE base JS gets fired

If you have been using Vapid technology or One Signal so far to collect tokens and send push notifications as against the FCM and APNS gateway, you will have to further add the following snippet of code along with Js code so that the migration of tokens can be done successfully.

if (localStorage.getItem('__stmigrate') === null) {
navigator.serviceWorker.getRegistrations().then(function(registrations) {

    for(let registration of registrations) {

	    registration.unregister().then(function(data){
	    console.log('unregister',registration);
	        localStorage.setItem('__stmigrate', 1);
	    });                    

    }}).catch(function(err) {

	console.log('Service Worker registration failed: ', err);

    });

}

Validating migration

Actual migration starts dynamically, as and when a user visits the website and its completion depends totally on the client's website’s traffic.
