For this article, we’re going to use PushEngage to set up push notifications on your Blogger blog. PushEngage is the #1 push notification software in the world. So, your campaigns will be in good hands.
But even if you’re not using PushEngage, this process should be fairly similar to other vendors.
Let’s dive in.

Installing push notifications on Blogger is a really quick and easy process. Just follow these steps and by the end of this article, you should be able to send push notifications from your site like this one:
And you don’t have to be a giant like Zomato to leverage the power of push notifications. You can do the same thing very effectively even if you’re running a small business site with very little traffic.
Let’s dive in.
Step #1: Set Up Your PushEngage Account
Head over to the PushEngage home page and click the Get Started button:
You can select the free plan to try out PushEngage, or choose a paid plan if you’re serious about growing your business. The paid plans come with more campaign options and the ability to build even bigger subscriber lists.
Once you’ve signed up for your PushEngage account, head over to your PushEngage dashboard and go to Site Settings » Site Details:
You can set your logo, site name, and site URL here. It’s really important to sort this stuff out right now so that you can test your entire setup later.
Step #2: Get the Installation Code from PushEngage
To install push notifications, you’ll need to get an installation code. In your Site Settings screen, scroll down and click on the Click Here For Setup Instruction button:
Then, click on the Any Site tab:
You can use the Javascript code to start sending push notifications.
Step #3: Place the Installation Code in Your Blogger Blog
Log in to your Blogger Dashboard and click on Theme:
And click on Customize » Edit HTML:
And in the code editor, paste your PushEngage code snippet inside the <head> tag:
When you’re done, hit Save.
Step #4: Configuring the PushEngage Opt-In
Now, head back to your PushEngage dashboard. Go to Design » Popup Modals and select the optin of your choice:
From here, you can customize your push notification opt-in. If you need help with that, you should check out this article on how to create a custom push notification opt-in.

Step #5: Create a Welcome Notification
Once you’re done setting up the opt-in, your site can collect subscribers.
But how do you know if your push notifications are working properly?
We recommend that you create a welcome push notification to test if your setup went smoothly. A welcome notification is a push notification you send a new subscriber to confirm their subscription and welcome them on board.
Go to PushEngage dashboard and head over to Campaign » Drip Autoresponders and click on Create New Drip Autoresponder:
Then, name your campaign (we suggest something like Welcome Drip), and under Content, select the option that says, “Send notification immediately after user subscribes“):
At this point, you can click on the arrow next to the notification to edit the content of your notification.
If you have a Premium or Enterprise plan with PushEngage, you’ll be able to add more than one notification to create a sequence of automated welcome messages. Just click on Add New Notification and edit the content.
Once you’re done, click on Drip Settings and select the option to send your welcome campaign to all subscribers:
Then, scroll down to set your own UTM parameters to track the push notifications:
And when you’re done, scroll back up and click the Activate Autoresponder button:
And you’re done!
You have successfully set up Blogger push notifications on your blog. It’s time to head back to your PushEngage dashboard and start creating your push notification campaigns.
