Finding Users
There are a couple options for finding your device depending on the data you currently have.
If you know the device's player_id
or external_user_id
, jump to Adding as Test User.
If you know specific tags
see this section finding device by tag.
Find Device in Dashboard
Open your app or site with your subscribed device. Make sure you are visiting a page of your site/app with OneSignal initialized (code actively running). Then in All Users sort by "Last Active" so the arrow points up to see the latest active devices.
You may need to confirm it is your device by making some data visible. Click the Displayed Columns List filter at the top-right. Some helpful data to check is:
Column | Details |
---|---|
Last Active | The most recent time the user visited the site/app. You may want to refresh the page to get updated values. |
First Session | The first time you subscribed to the website or opened the app with OneSignal code. Check if this is the first time you subscribed to the site/app. |
IP Address | If enabled, visit https://whatismyipaddress.com/ to see if the IPs match. More details in Data Collected by the OneSignal SDK |
Tags, Country, External User Id | This is additional information that can be used to check if you know this data. |
Device | - Mobile Website subscribers will show "Linux Arm..." with the Browser icon and Browser version. - Desktop Website subscribers will show Mac or Win with Browser icon and Browser version. - Android Mobile Apps - will have the device model and corresponding icons. - iOS Mobile Apps - the model is based on the Hardware String. For example "iPhone9,3 (12.3.1)" means "iPhone 7 with operating system version 12.3.1". |

If you found your device, jump to Adding as Test User.

Find Device by Tag
If you added a specific tag to the user like a user_name
, email
tag, or other identifier, you can create a Segment with the User Tag filter to find your specific device.

Test Users
Test Users are a special group of devices that you can manually manage in order to test delivery of messages. Any user record may be added to the Test Device list in Audience > Test Users
First, you need to find your device. Once you have your player_id
or external_user_id
, you can search for it (1), then next to the device record select Options > Add to Test Users (2).

Next you can Segment Users by Test Users Filter and/or send messages using the Send To Test Device Button.
