What are WooCommerce push notifications

Push notifications let you get real-time alerts when certain events happen in your WooCommerce store. For example, you can receive a notification when a new order is placed.

Tracking these events helps you stay on top of your store activity and respond faster.

Tracking notifications with Operational

Operational is an event tracking service that captures and displays events from any application. You can send WooCommerce notifications to Operational and view them in a dashboard.

Setting up Operational

1. Go to app.operational.co and sign up.
2. Create a new API key from your workspace settings.
3. Copy the API key for your integration.
4. Keep the key handy for your code.

Example code

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Operational\\Operational;

$ops = new Operational('YOUR_API_KEY');

$payload = [
  'name' => 'New WooCommerce Order',
  'avatar' => '📦',
  'content' => 'Order #12345 placed by John Smith'
];

$ops->events->ingest($payload);

This example shows how to ingest a new order event into Operational when WooCommerce sends a push notification.
