Please note!
When sending large volumes of web push notifications, delivery delays may occur. This is due to rate limits imposed by external parties such as Google, Mozilla, and Microsoft, which restrict how quickly messages can be sent. Although Ternair has optimized this process by enabling parallel delivery, there are technical boundaries to prevent these messages from being blocked.
- For large campaigns (e.g., 50,000 notifications), full delivery may take 30 to 60 minutes.
- This delay is independent of whether the recipient’s browser is open.
- Delivery speed may vary by browser.
