How to Create On-Screen Push Notifications
After creating your event visit the dashboard and look for the Notifications section from the left navigation. Here is where you'll be able to manage all of your messages.
From there, you can add new notifications, manage existing notifications, manually send notifications to attendees and associate the notifications with a particular series. Click Manage or Add New Notification to add a new notification. Either button will direct you to an editor, where you can add and edit the Title, Sub-Title, Call To Action Text and Call To Action Link for each notification.
Once you have your notification, schedule it to send or manually send it at any time.
Determine what attendees see the notification
Look for the settings in the notifications page to add a series or modules to this list. Once you add them here, they'll be available for you to choose when configuring a single notification. Then these messages will be shown to any registrants who are currently on those landing pages.
Additionally, you'll find a setting for Share notification inside associated webinar(s). Enable this to have any notifications also show up inside of the webinar rooms of the agendas and expo halls you add here.
Sending Push notifications through the mobile app
If your event is utilizing the Companion App then you have the ability to send push notifications directly to the device of anyone with the app. One unique aspect of these notifications is that you are able to determine which list of registrants would receive the notification, letting you fully customize each segment of your communication.
Only the Content text will be shown to users. If you want users to be send to the app after tapping on the notification on their phones, simply leave the CTA Link field blank
