I've seen this question several times, so I would like to give a definitive answer.
Would you like to send web push notifications only to people located in a given place? If you use Pushpad you can implement that in different ways.
What if you want to send a web push notification only to 10% of your users? This can be useful for example for testing and for measuring CTR for that notification before sending it to all your users. There are many ways to achieve that, but in this tutorial we will show a simple method with tags.
There are various reasons that can prevent a web push notification from being delivered. One of them is the presence of subscriptions that are no longer in use: if a device / browser is no longer used, then its subscription to web push notifications is still valid, but the notification won't be delivered. That legacy subscription will eventually expire and will be removed automatically (by Pushpad), but this can take several months, depending on the browser push service (e.g. Google FCM, Mozilla autopush, etc.).
