    Hi, currently the only supported and automatic option is to migrate your users on the fly. Please read: https://docs.perfecty.org/wp/conflict-resolution/

    If you want to import the CSV file you will need to do it yourself by importing those tokens directly into the _perfecty_push_users table. If you need more help please let us know.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong:

    I was looking at the table perfectly_push_users, and I think there’s only 4 critical columns that needs to be imported from csv file, downloaded from OneSignal:
    UUID, endpoint, key_auth and key_p256dh, and corresponding columns from csv in same order are id, identifier, web_auth, web_p256

    I was using WP Data Access plugin to import this data, each to corresponding table.
    Total users went up, as they should.

    However, not a single notification was sent to this set of users. As sending was progressing, there was less and less total users in dashboard.

    Without some clear instructions, or some importing option inside the plugin itself, it’s impossible to do this properly.

    What about VAPID keys that OneSignal is using, while we have different set of VAPID keys generated by the plugin? Does that matter?

    Give us some clear instructions, step by step guide, how to do this, and succeed.

    Hi, in theory you’re close to get it working. The only thing left is to use the same VAPID Keys you were using in OneSignal, so that’s the last step. Copy the VAPID keys from OneSginal and go to Perfecty Push Settings > Self-hosted Server and paste them in VAPID Private Key and VAPID Public Key.

    In regards to importing subscribers we’ve described the recommended approach which suits for non technical users and it’s to migrate automatically by resubscribing the users once they get back to the site.

    The approach you’re following still needs input from the community (see https://github.com/perfectyorg/perfecty-push-wp/issues/138) so if you manage to succeed please let us know so that we can create the documentation for other users. So far, it has been very helpful your detailed description on what you’re doing. Thank you very much!
