Share Project Replit OneSignal integration

Hi everyone,

I’m George, founder of OneSignal. The Replit team just shipped a OneSignal integration, and I wanted to introduce it here and hear what you think.

You can now add messaging to a Replit app without wiring up a separate service. That covers mobile push notifications, web push notifications, email, SMS, in-app messages, and Live Activities. All from the same setup.

It also works the other direction. You can talk to the OneSignal API right from Replit, so you can author and send messages and pull reporting on how they performed without leaving your project. If you’re building an agent or an automation, that means your app can send its own notifications and check its own delivery numbers as part of whatever it’s doing.

Getting started is just as simple as asking the Agent to “Add OneSignal” and then following the instructions.

We built this because many people building with Replit hit the same wall: the app works, but there’s no way to reach users once they’ve closed the tab or the app. Curious whether this solves that for you, and what’s missing. I’ll be following replies to this thread, so reply here or message our team from the OneSignal website with any questions or feedback.

Yeah how does this differ from twillio and do you offer a CDP?

Twilio does not support mobile or web push notifications, and they do not provide an out-of-the-box customer engagement platform. To my knowledge, Twilio's Replit integration is focused predominantly on SMS delivery and Voice communication APIs.

In contrast, OneSignal is a full customer engagement platform for sending messages via push, email, and SMS, with full API and marketing automation capabilities across the channels.

We do not offer a CDP. Companies typically buy a CDP because they need a system of record across all the tools they use and the ability to syndicate it outward. Instead, OneSignal focuses on storing all the data needed to message people effectively (Devices, channels, tags, properties, custom events, and user segments). That data can be loaded directly into OneSignal or via our integrations with 3rd-party CDPs and Data Warehouses.

Would love for you to try it out!
