The most direct way to engage with your readers on Chrome, Safari and Firefox by sending web push notifications directly to their desktops; with clear stats and seamless integration.

== Description ==

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGtPqsFz24Y

Send push notifications directly to your readers’ mobiles and desktops when new content is fresh from the oven.

This plugin connects the the Push Monkey 3rd party service (getpushmonkey.com) - which actually delivers the notifications. A FREE account on getpushmonkey.com is required, no credit card needed. Don't worry, you can setup an account faster than you can say ba-na-na and you can sign up from inside this plugin, by following the Sign Up instructions.

= Why Push Monkey? =

= Increased Engagement =

Readers can be informed about your content at all times: when reading other websites or while working in other apps, with the browser closed. Even when the computer is not active - it displays all missed notifications the moment it wakes up. For Chrome, notifications can also include an image.

= Native =

Your readers don't have to install any additional apps or plugins. They just accept receiving notifications from your website and presto!
  
= Super fast setup. Zero coding required =

Fast and easy to set up and no coding or API configuration required. The monkeys do all the pushing so you can focus on your content and readers.

= No Monkey Business =

Sending notifications on a big and reliable scale is not trivial, but our solid high-availability cloud back-end has already delivered millions of notifications...and it's not stopping here. 

**NOTE:**
Currently for Chrome 43 and above, Safari from OS X Mavericks (and newer) and Firefox 44 and above, Windows, MacOS and Android.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is Push Monkey Free? =
Yes! All the Push Monkey features are free and you don't need to pay until you reach a certain readership. At the moment, once you pass 100 subscribers, we would recommend upgrading to a payed tier. If not, you can still use Push Monkey, just no new subscribers will be registered.

= Should I purchase a paid plan? ==
Only if the number of subscribers grows drastically.

= I've installed the plugin, but something doesn't seem to work =
Pop us an email, write us a message on [getpushmonkey.com](getpushmonkey.com) or on live chat. We're always happy to help.
