|---|---|
| A OneSignal notification was opened |
| A OneSignal notification was received. (Android Only) |
| An application was opened within 2 minutes of a OneSignal notification being received. |

Parameter Name | Parameter Value | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| "OneSignal" | To attribute this event's source to the OneSignal SDK |
| "notification" | A formal indication that the medium for the event is a notification |
| the | You can attribute a notification ID to a particular "sent" notification on the dashboard |
| If using a template: | Campaigns are a way to group notifications that are similar, such as notifications using the same template or title. |
Setup OneSignal events integration with Google Analytics for Firebase
1. Setup Firebase
Follow the Firebase integration documentation and verify that Firebase is correctly functioning inside your application.
2. Enable Firebase In OneSignal
Just click Enable under "Google Analytics for Firebase". This will begin sending event data to Firebase. If you wish to track influenced opens on iOS, you will need to perform some additional setup due to limitations in Firebase.
3. Verify OneSignal Events

Check in your application's LogCat logs and look for Google Analytics for Firebase entries that indicate events corresponding to OneSignal are being sent. Look for os_notification_opened,os_notification_received, or os_notification_influence_open
B. Go to the Firebase Console for your project
C. Follow the DebugView Setup Guide
The DebugView allows ADB to send Firebase events to your project when it's in debug mode
D. As OneSignal events propagate, they will appear in real-time on the DebugView
E. Your application has been verified to track OneSignal notification events through Google Analytics for Firebase!
You're Done!
Google Analytics for Firebase is now set up to receive OneSignal events.
