+
+# WebPush
+
+## Setup & configuration
+
+In the synapse virtualenv, generate the server key pair by running
+`vapid --gen --applicationServerKey`. This will generate a `private_key.pem`
+(which you'll refer to in the config file with `vapid_private_key`) 
+and `public_key.pem` file, and also a string labeled `Application Server Key`.
+
+You'll copy the Application Server Key to `vapid_app_server_key` so that
+web applications can fetch it through `/capabilities` and use it to subscribe
+to the push manager:
+
+```js
+serviceWorkerRegistration.pushManager.subscribe({
+    userVisibleOnly: true,
+    applicationServerKey: "...",
+});
+```
+
+You also need to set an e-mail address in `vapid_contact_email` in the config file,
+where the push server operator can reach you in case they need to notify you
+about your usage of their API.
+
+Since for webpush, the push server endpoint is variable and comes from the browser
+through the push data, you may not want to have your synapse instance connect to any
+random addressable server.
+You can use the global options `ip_range_blacklist` and `ip_range_allowlist` to manage that.
+
+A default time-to-live of 15 minutes is set for webpush, but you can adjust this by setting
+the `ttl: <number of seconds>` configuration option for the pusher.
+If notifications can't be delivered by the push server aftet this time, they are dropped.
+
+## Push key and expected push data
+
+In your web application, [the push manager subscribe method](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PushManager/subscribe)
+will return
+[a subscription](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PushSubscription) 
+with an `endpoint` and `keys` property, the latter containing a `p256dh` and `auth` 
+property. The `p256dh` key is used as the push key, and the push data must contain
+`endpoint` and `auth`. You can also set `default_payload` in the push data;
+any properties set in it will be present in the push messages you receive, 
+so it can be used to pass identifiers specific to your client
+(like which account the notification is for).
+
+### events_only
+
+As of the time of writing, all webpush-supporting browsers require you to set 
+`userVisibleOnly: true` when calling (`pushManager.subscribe`)
+[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PushManager/subscribe], to 
+(prevent abusing webpush to track users)[https://goo.gl/yqv4Q4] without their 
+knowledge. With this (mandatory) flag, the browser will show a "site has been 
+updated in the background" notification if no notifications are visible after
+your service worker processes a `push` event. This can easily happen when synapse
+sends a push message to clear the unread count, which is not specific
+to an event. With `events_only: true` in the pusher data, synapse won't forward
+any push message without a event id. This prevents your service worker being
+forced to show a notification to push messages that clear the unread count.
+
+### only_last_per_room
+
+You can opt in to only receive the last notification per room by setting
+`only_last_per_room: true` in the push data. Note that if the first notification
+can be delivered before the second one is sent, you will still get both;
+it only has an effect when notifications are queued up on the gateway.
+
+### Multiple pushers on one origin
+
+Also note that because you can only have one push subscription per service worker,
+and hence per origin, you might create pushers for different accounts with the same 
+p256dh push key. To prevent the server from removing other pushers with the same 
+push key for your other users, you should set `append` to `true` when uploading 
+your pusher.
+
+## Notification format
+
+The notification as received by your web application will contain the following keys 
+(assuming non-null values were sent by the homeserver). These are the
+same as specified in [the push gateway spec](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/push_gateway/r0.1.0#post-matrix-push-v1-notify),
+but the sub-keys of `counts` (`unread` and `missed_calls`) are flattened into
+the notification object.
+
+```
+room_id
+room_name
+room_alias
+membership
+event_id
+sender
+sender_display_name
+user_is_target
+type
+content
+unread
+missed_calls
+```
