Subsequently, create an account with PusherStudio or Sign In. Go to your domain > Configuration > Installation. You could choose for manual installations or installation for extensions. With the extension, you only need to install and configure it, no need to go through the steps of 'Default Installation'.
If you want to install PusherStudio manually, download the Javascript file and add the file to the root directory of your website’s source code. If you manage the content of your website yourself, you can insert the files into the root folder. If you use a third party CMS such as Wordpress, you can add the files via the CMS portal. The last step is including the code snippet we generated for you in the of your website. Similar to the Javascript file, you can either add this yourself in the index.html, or input it via your CMS.
You can verify if you set everything up correctly by navigating to https://yourdomain.com/pusherstudio.js. If you do not get a 404 error, everything should be working!

On your PusherStudio portal, you will see "reports" in the dashboard. You can analyze the performance of each individual Push Notification you have sent. Each row in the table represents one of your messages. You are able to see the title of your message, how many subscribers received the message, how many of them opened the message, and finally what the click-through-rate is. You can use these statistics to improve your notification performance.
