Overview

AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) requires a specialized integration approach due to its restricted JavaScript environment and unique component architecture. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for implementing Taboola Web Push on AMP pages.

Step 1: Include the AMP Web Push script

Add the amp-web-push component by including the following script in the <head> section of your AMP pages. Place it below the primary AMP runtime script.

<script async custom-element="amp-web-push" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-web-push-0.1.js"></script>

Here is an example of how it should look on your web page:

<!doctype html>
<html ⚡>
  <head>
    <title>My AMP Page</title>
    <!-- The primary AMP runtime -->
    <script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script>
    <!-- Load the AMP Web Push extension -->
    <script async custom-element="amp-web-push" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-web-push-0.1.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hood engage amp poc</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Step 2: Configure the AMP Web Push extension

The amp-web-push component requires 3 files:

Helper Iframe (helper-iframe.html) - Manages communication between AMP and the Service Worker.
Permission Dialog (permission-dialog.html) - Prompts users to grant notification permissions.
Service Worker (sw.js) - Handles background push logic.

Obtain your preconfigured files

Taboola will prepare publisher-specific versions of helper-iframe.html and permission-dialog.html for you (already configured with your Push Key and Tag Key).

Once the files are ready, fetch them from the following URLs:

https://cdn.taboola.com/webpush/amp_publishers_components/{publisher_id}/iframe-helper.html
https://cdn.taboola.com/webpush/amp_publishers_components/{publisher_id}/permission-dialog.html

🚧
Publisher ID
Replace {publisher_id} with your domain-specific publisher_id.
For example, if your publisher_id is 123456:
https://cdn.taboola.com/webpush/amp_publishers_components/123456/iframe-helper.html
https://cdn.taboola.com/webpush/amp_publishers_components/123456/permission-dialog.html
The publisher_id is a unique, numeric identifier, provided by Taboola.
When editing the above URLs, make sure to remove the curly braces.

Host your preconfigured files

Once you have copied your preconfigured files (above), host them at the root of your domain, using HTTPS.

Example:

https://mydomain.com/helper-iframe.html
https://mydomain.com/permission-dialog.html

Add the service worker

Create a file called sw.js that contains a single line of code:

importScripts("https://cdn.taboola.com/webpush/tsw_amp.js");

Upload sw.js to the root of the domain.
Verify that sw.js was uploaded successfully:
1. Using a browser, enter your domain path, followed by "sw.js".
  
  E.g. https://mydomain.com/sw.js
2. Check that the contents of sw.js display in your browser. You should see a single line of code: importScripts("https://cdn.taboola.com/webpush/tsw_amp.js");

Add the AMP Web Push component

Within the <body> section of your AMP pages, insert the amp-web-push element code.

Make sure to replace https://mydomain.com/ with your actual domain.

<amp-web-push
  id="amp-web-push"
  layout="nodisplay"
  helper-iframe-url="https://mydomain.com/helper-iframe.html"
  permission-dialog-url="https://mydomain.com/permission-dialog.html"
  service-worker-url="https://mydomain.com/sw.js">
</amp-web-push>

Step 3: Implement subscription and unsubscription widgets

To allow users to manage their subscription status, incorporate subscription and unsubscription widgets into your AMP pages.

Define widget styles

Add the following CSS within the <style amp-custom> section to style the subscription buttons (you can customize it as needed):

<style amp-custom>
  .push-button {
    background:#007bff;color:#fff;
    padding:0.5rem 1rem;border:none;
    border-radius:4px;font-size:1rem;
    cursor:pointer;
  }
</style>

Add the subscription and unsubscription widgets

Place the following code within the <body> section where you want the subscription options to appear:

<!-- Widget shown to unsubscribed users -->
<amp-web-push-widget
  visibility="unsubscribed"
  layout="fixed"
  width="200"
  height="60">
  <button class="push-button" on="tap:amp-web-push.subscribe">Enable Notifications</button>
</amp-web-push-widget>

These widgets will display the appropriate button based on the user's subscription status.

Publisher-specific configuration
The helper-iframe.html and permission-dialog.html files shown above contain sample keys. Your Taboola account manager will provide you with files configured with your actual Push Key and Tag Key.
