You can set up and control who to and when push notifications are sent via the admin panel. This article describes where you can control them from and how to create/edit/delete them.

The home page

To find the push notifications feature within the admin panel, hover over the communication tab and select 'Push notifications' from the drop down menu.

Sending option admin panel

Push notifications are the best and most effective way to communicate with your users. One of the reasons it is effective is that you can filter who you send notifications to from the following groups:

• Push to everyone - Every registered user.

• All speakers - Every user who is assigned as a speaker to any programme item.

• All company representatives - Anyone linked to a company.

• Programme item - Anyone linked to a programme item (I.e. Users who have favourited a programme item, and speakers).

• All hosts/organisers - Every user that is set up as a host or an admin.

• Users with tag - Users with a specific tag (Choose which tags later).

Sending option app

In the app, navigate to admin options in the menu, and click on 'Send push notification':

2. Choose who you want to send the notification to.

3. Complete the fields as applicable (Any fields marked with a * are mandatory). 4. a) Click on 'Send now' if you want to send the notification immediately (Choose this option and any following steps will no longer apply) b) Click on 'Send push notification later' to display additional settings for deferring the notification to a later date/time. 5. Choose the date and time you want the notification to be sent. 6. Click on the green 'Send later' button.

Editing and deleting a notification

​- Edit icon: Click here to make adjustments similar to when creating a notification

​- Delete icon: Click here to remove the notification altogether.

​- Send push notification right now: Use this button to send push notifications that are scheduled for the future out immediately
