What is a Push notification?

Push notifications are small messages that can reach your clients anywhere and anytime. The 'Push' notification will appear as pop-ups only when clients are logged into their Member App. 

You can send a push notification with ease from any tab of the dashboard. To do that, click the speech bubble in the top right corner of the screen and a pop-up box will appear. Screenshot_2023-04-03_at_17.08.08.png

To check the status of your 'Push' notification, follow these steps; 

  1. From the dashboard, go to the 'Connect' icon
  2. Click on 'Push Notifications
  3. Click on the 'Push' message you sent

 

Please note;

Push messages marked as ‘marketing messages’ will not send to clients that have opted out to receive marketing messages. Push messages will also not send to those that don’t have a working phone number or Member App set up. If a client is logged in on more than one device while using the same account they will receive the push notification on the most recent device they have used to log in.
