How to push notifications to your virtual event attendees

Send push notifications to attendees during virtual events, communicating relevant information to attendees quick and efficiently.

Display push notifications on the screen during both live and evergreen webinars. This way, hosts can send push notifications to attendees while they are in a session, thus communicating relevant information to attendees more quickly and efficiently .  

With this feature, hosts can also push notifications to display any webinar that is associated with a particular event module (the Agenda, Networking Center, Exhibitor Booths, etc.). This allows hosts to send one notification across multiple webinars and booths within a series at the same time.  

Reminder: On BigMarker, each event module is structured as a series/modules of webinars. Each session/booth within that event module is then hosted in an individual webinar within that series. 

To send on-screen push notifications to viewers of individual sessions, exhibitor booths, etc., you’ll need to link the notification to the series associated with them.

How to Create On-Screen Push Notifications 

On the event admin visit the Notifications page.

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 to edit or New Notification to add a new notification. 

Either button will direct you to an editor, where you can add and edit the TitleSub-TitleCall To Action Text and Call To Action Link for each notification. 

How to Associate a Notification with a Series

Next, link your push notification to the appropriate event module. You’ll achieve that by linking your push notification with the BigMarker series associated with that event module. 

By linking the live/evergreen webinars with a series, and linking that series to the main events notifications, you can manually push those notifications out to all the linked live/evergreen events within that series. 

  1. Stay on the Notifications page shown above, then select the Settings tab. 
  2. In the Series Notifications dropdown menu, select the series that you would like to associate with your push notification. 
  3. Click Save.

Now when you configure each notification, you will see the options available that you added to this list.
