Overview

Push Notifications are created to be sent at a specific time and can contain a range of content. These are perfect for in-event advertising, notification/update publishing, & helpful reminders from the Event Organisers. Push Notifications can be used as in-Event website and/or in-Event app notifications.

Notes

• When a Push Notification sends, a '1' will appear in red on the bell icon on the top menu bar for applicable delegates. The delegate can click the bell icon on the top menu bar to navigate to their Notifications page to read the Notification (as well as view any previous Notifications).

• We'd recommend arranging no more than 3-4 Scheduled Notifications per day so as to not overload delegates.
