Chumbaq

Move from OneSignal without losing a subscriber

Notification permission belongs to your app, not to OneSignal, so your users never have to opt in again. You add Chumbaq next to OneSignal, let devices check in, then move your campaigns over.

Five steps. We help you through every one.

  1. 1

    Add the Chumbaq SDK next to the one you have

    Install the SDK for your platform, start it once, and call identify with the same user ID you use today. Both SDKs can run in the same app.

    final config = ChumbaqConfig.builder(
      baseUrl: 'https://your-chumbaq-host',
      apiKey: '<project API key>',
      projectId: '<project id>',
    ).build();
    
    await Chumbaq.instance.init(config);
    
    // Who this is, once they log in.
    await Chumbaq.instance.identify(
      IdentifyParams.builder().externalUserId('u_42').build(),
    );
    
    // Push: the SDK reports whatever the app hands it.
    await ChumbaqPush.instance.init();
    
    FirebaseMessaging.onMessage.listen(
      (message) => ChumbaqPush.instance.reportNotificationReceived(message.data),
    );
  2. 2

    Keep your push setup

    Your Firebase project, FCM server credentials and APNs key stay exactly as they are. Chumbaq sends through them.

    Add your Firebase service account and your APNs key or certificate to your Chumbaq project. The SDK hands Chumbaq each token your app already receives.

  3. 3

    Ship the release and let devices check in

    As people open the new version, Chumbaq learns who they are and gets their push token. Nobody is asked for permission again.

    There's no bulk import of users today. Plan to run both tools side by side for a release cycle while devices update.
  4. 4

    Rebuild what makes money first

    Start with the two or three journeys that drive purchases, then the rest. Most concepts carry straight over:

    In OneSignalIn Chumbaq
    Subscription / playerDevice with a push token
    External IDexternalUserId in identify
    TagsTraits
    SegmentsSegments
    JourneysJourneys
    In-App MessagesIn-app messages (six native layouts)
    OutcomesConversions, scored against a control group
  5. Turn OneSignal off

    Remove the OneSignal SDK in the next release, then close the account once that release has rolled out.
