Trigger Opt-In Box for Subscribing to Push Notifications

This is used to explicitly trigger an Opt-in box for subscribing the user to push notifications.

Parameters

1) triggerOptIn: Command to trigger the opt-in box for subscribing the user to push notifications.

2) settingsObject: (Type: Dictionary, Optional):

Contents of 'Settings Object' Dictionary:

i) Subscriber Segment (Type: String, Optional, Default: 'global' (default subscriber segment)) - This will add the subscriber to the segment specified.

ii) Modal box (with logo and text) to explain the rationale: (Type: Dictionary, Optional) - If this parameter is not specified, modal will not be shown.

This parameter is used only in case of HTTPS implementations. In case of HTTP implementations, a custom opt-in box is shown instead of the modal.

Contents of 'Modal box' Dictionary:

a) Text (Type: String, Optional) - This text will be shown in the modal box. Default text will be shown if this parameter is not specified.
Default: “Please click ‘Allow’ to receive push notifications from {company name}”.

b) Blacken background. (Type: Boolean, Default: true) - This will blacken the page background, outside the modal box, if set to true.

3) HTTPWindowOnly (Type: Boolean, Optional, Default: false)
This is only applicable for HTTP implementations. If this is set to True, the child window which subscribes users to push notifications, will open directly without opening the custom opt-in box.

Functionality:

i) If User is not subscribed

For HTTPS implementations:
Shows the Chrome Native opt-in box
Shows the modal box (that says please subscribe)(if 'modal' parameter is passed)
Blackens the background

For HTTP implementations:
Shows the custom opt-in box
Blackens the background

ii) If User is already subscribed
Shows modal box with logo and text. Default :“You are already subscribed to push notifications” (if 'modal' parameter is passed)

iii) If User had blocked
Shows modal box with logo, and text. Default: “Uh-oh! You seem to have blocked the notifications last time you came on our website. To see how to subscribe, Click Here". (if 'modal' parameter is passed)
