What data is required to migrate my subscribers from another push service (e.g., OneSignal) to Pushwoosh?

When migrating your subscribers from another push notification provider to Pushwoosh, you will need to provide a CSV file containing your user data for import.

Here is a breakdown of the common data fields (tags) and their importance for the import process:

Required Field

• push_token: This is the unique token for a device and is essential for sending push notifications. Your import cannot be processed without this field.

Optional Fields

• timezone_id: While optional, we highly recommend including this. It allows you to use our "Send by Timezone" feature to deliver notifications according to the user's local time.
• language_code, country, device: You do not need to include these in your CSV file. The Pushwoosh SDK will automatically collect this information as soon as a user opens your app after the migration.
• Provider-Specific IDs (e.g., player_id, onesignal_id): You should not include user IDs from your previous provider. Pushwoosh will automatically generate its own unique Hardware ID (HWID) or UserID for each imported device.

In summary, a CSV file with just a push_token column is sufficient for a basic migration. For more effective segmentation and scheduling, including a timezone_id column is recommended.
