Push Notification Message Reports

OneSignal Push Notification delivery and statistics

A push notification report reveals high-level stats, such as how the message was created, when it started sending, how long it took to fully send, and any throttling limits set.

You can find Push Notification Delivery Stats within Delivery > Sent Messages.

StatisticDescription
Total SentThe number of devices targeted to be sent the message.
DeliveredThe number of notifications successfully sent to Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc server. This does not necessarily mean the devices have received these notifications.
ConfirmedThe number of devices that successfully received the notification. See Confirmed Deliveries for more details.
Unsubscribed A failure reason. The number of devices that were unreachable and likely due to being unsubscribed from push notifications. Once a device has been detected as unsubscribed, it will be marked as unsubscribed and future notifications will not be sent to it unless it re-subscribes to notifications again.

Older, inactive subscriptions, may also become unsubscribed by Google FCM expiring the device token.

Learn more in Detecting Unsubscribes.
FailedA failure reason. The number of devices that did not get notifications due to an error. See below What are Failed Notifications? for more details.
RemainingThe number of devices that have not received the notification yet. These would be for notifications sent using Intelligent Delivery or Timezone optimizations.
CappedThe number of notifications that were not sent due to your frequency capping settings. See Frequency Capping for more details.

FAQ

What are Failed Notifications?

There are 2 types of failed notifications.

1. Unsubscribed

This means the device has unsubscribed from receiving push notifications and is no longer reachable. Once a device has been detected as unsubscribed, it will be marked as unsubscribed and future notifications will not be sent to it unless it re-subscribes to notifications again.

More details in Detecting Unsubscribes.

2. Failures

Mobile Push - There are many reasons for a failure. A failure often means the FCM keys on Android or the Bundle ID on iOS have changed from what these devices originally subscribed under. You may need to restore previous settings to fix this.

ErrorTroubleshooting Steps
SenderIdMismatchFCM v1 Sender ID is different than expected. In the dashboard, go to Settings > Platform > Google Android (FCM) to check that your Project ID matches your project in Firebase.
AuthenticationErrorUpdate your Google Android (FCM) settings to the latest FCMv1 API by following these instructions.
"None" or "Missing"Permission Denied: Firebase Cloud Messaging API had not been used in project ----- before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting your project in Firebase https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/fcm.googleapis.com/overview?project=XXXXXX then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.

Web Push - Failures generally happen when you change one of the following:

  • the domain of your site or adding the same domain to another app ID
  • the notification data exceeds 4kb
  • there was a temporary issue with the Google Servers
