Set Up Web Push Notifications for Your Site with Roost and Zapier

Please note that as of December 2022, this app no longer integrates with Zapier.

Push notifications for mobile apps are commonplace, but it isn't often you see them offered by web apps. A new service, Roost, is changing that. The tool makes it easy for web app creators to offer browser push notifications to users who opt-in. And now that it's integrated with Zapier, hundreds of new notifications are available.

Use Roost and Zapier to let subscribers—those who have opted-in—know that you've sent out a new newsletter. Connect Instagram, Twitter or YouTube to Roost, to give subscribers a link to your latest update. Or if you use an ecommerce app like GumRoad or Magento, use Roost and Zapier to let subscribers know you've added a new product.

Here are some of the new web push notification possibilities. For more, visit the Roost Zapbook page.
