AMP powered pages

Implementing iZooto Web Push on AMP

Your AMP powered pages rank high on Google search results and can help you expand your audience. You can convert your AMP powered page visitors to an audience by giving them an option to subscribe to your website and start receiving notifications you send.

What is AMP?

Google Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) is an open-source project focused on creating a user-first experience. This framework is used to build fast-loading mobile pages for android devices. Reduced page load time help in pages rank better, hence driving more traffic.

 
AMP powered pages create a lightweight mobile experience by using simplified HTML, streamlined CSS rules, and cache. You can identify these pages with a lightning bolt symbol on your search pages.

How a AMP powered page looks

Note

AMP Web Push is only supported on Android devices.


How does AMP Web Push work?

AMP-powered pages that have iZooto AMP code in place would show a subscribe button, which lets your visitors opt-in to receive your website notifications.

Clicking on the subscribe button brings up the subscription prompt. Now if one clicks on the Allow button in the subscription prompt they become subscribers and they start receiving notifications on their mobile device.

Subscribing for Push Notification on a Publisher AMP page

If one clicks on the Block button, it means they have blocked you from sending any more notifications. In this case, the subscribe button on your AMP powered page remains as it was. If the visitors again click on subscribe button, they will get a message asking them to unblock notifications for your website from their browser settings.


How to set up Notifications for your AMP powered pages?

You can find the instructions to set up web push notifications for your AMP powered pages in your iZooto account.

  1. Log into your iZooto account.
  2. In the left column click on Settings > Setup > AMP.

Note

  1. If you want to customize the button design you can do it by making the required changes to the CSS code.
  2. It is better to place the "Subscribe to Notifications" button within the content of the article. This gives your visitors an opportunity to first go through your content and then decide to subscribe.

Custom Opt-In Prompt for AMP Pages

We have recently released a new opt-in prompt for AMP pages, which can be customized completely as per the look and feel of the website. The below image shows the default UI of this opt-in, which can be modified as needed and can be set to show at the top, bottom, etc.

Custom opt-in on a test AMP page

Let's see below how to implement this opt-in.

Step 1: Upload AMP Web Push required Files

This step remains exactly the same as the normal AMP web push implementation. The files can be downloaded from the iZooto panel by navigating to Setting > Setup > Install > AMP. The files need to be hosted in the same location where the service worker file is hosted.

Step 2: Add the below code before the </head> tag on all AMP pages.

<script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script>

Step 3: Add the below CSS code before the </head> tag on all AMP pages.

<style amp-boilerplate>
    body {
        -webkit-animation:-amp-start 8s steps(1,end) 0s 1 normal both;
        -moz-animation:-amp-start 8s steps(1,end) 0s 1 normal both;
        -ms-animation:-amp-start 8s steps(1,end) 0s 1 normal both;
        animation:-amp-start 8s steps(1,end) 0s 1 normal both
    }

    @-webkit-keyframes -amp-start {
        from {
            visibility:hidden
        }

        to {
            visibility:visible
        }
    }

    @-moz-keyframes -amp-start {
        from {
            visibility:hidden
        }

        to {

        }
    }

    @-ms-keyframes -amp-start {

        }
    }

    @-o-keyframes -amp-start {

    }

    @keyframes -amp-start {
        from {

        to {
