FAQs

Questions about OneSignal + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to OneSignal?

Go to the Apps tab, find OneSignal, and click Connect. You will need two values from your OneSignal dashboard: the REST API Key and the App ID, both found under Settings → Keys & IDs in your OneSignal app. Paste both into Actionist and click Test connection — Actionist makes a read-only call to the OneSignal app endpoint to confirm the credentials work before any notifications are sent.

Can Actionist send to multiple OneSignal apps?

Each Actionist connection is scoped to one OneSignal App ID. If you run multiple OneSignal apps (for example, separate iOS and web apps), you can create multiple OneSignal connections in Actionist — one per App ID — and reference the appropriate connection in each agent task. There is no limit on the number of connections you can add.

Can Actionist target individual users as well as segments?

Yes. The Send Push Notification action supports three targeting modes: by Segment (a named audience group), by Filter (custom criteria evaluated at send time), and by User ID (a specific subscriber identified by their OneSignal ID or an external alias like your CRM contact ID). For one-to-one sends — a personalised deal-stage push to a specific prospect, for example — pass the user's ID in the notification action. For broadcasts, name a segment. Both modes are covered by the same action.

What channel types does Actionist support through OneSignal?

Actionist supports web push, mobile push (iOS and Android), and email via OneSignal's unified API. In-app messages are managed via OneSignal's client-side SDKs, not the REST API, so they are not available through Actionist. SMS is available on OneSignal paid plans — if your account has SMS enabled, Actionist can include SMS in a notification send by passing the appropriate channel parameter.

How quickly does Actionist detect a new subscriber or a notification click?

Actionist polls OneSignal's API on a regular cadence and processes events within about a minute of them occurring. This means triggers like New Notification Created, Notification Clicked, or Subscription Changed will fire within about a minute of the underlying event — suitable for near-real-time automations like welcome pushes on new opt-ins or CRM updates on click events. For strict real-time requirements, consider pairing OneSignal's native webhooks with a custom endpoint that calls the Actionist API directly.

Can Actionist cancel a push notification that has already been sent?

Actionist can cancel a notification that is still scheduled or queued but has not yet been delivered. Once OneSignal has dispatched a notification to subscribers' devices, it cannot be recalled — the Cancel Notification action only works while the message is in a pending-delivery state. For time-sensitive corrections (wrong content, wrong segment), the best practice is to add an approval step in the agent workflow before any large-audience notification is queued.

Does Actionist support A/B testing notifications in OneSignal?

Yes. OneSignal's Send Advanced Push Notification action supports the A/B testing parameters available in the OneSignal API — you can define multiple content variants with split percentages, and OneSignal handles the random assignment and winner determination according to your configured metric (click rate, outcome, or time-based). Actionist passes the variant configuration to the API; the test management and winner selection run on OneSignal's side.

How does Actionist handle user data privacy and GDPR when working with OneSignal?

Actionist accesses OneSignal subscriber data only through your credentialed REST API Key, which you control. For GDPR erasure requests, the Delete User action permanently removes the subscriber and all associated data from OneSignal. The Create Segment action can filter by country to limit notifications to authorised jurisdictions. Actionist does not store notification content or subscriber data beyond what is needed to execute the current agent task — your data stays in OneSignal and your own systems.
