Send reminders via mobile push notifications
Push Notifications are now available on all devices that Operoo supports (iOS, Android).
What this means, is that you can now send a notification to a users mobile device without having to send an Email or SMS.
Note: SMS is always a much more reliable method for reaching users in an emergency, as they're not dependent on the user having a smartphone. (Learn how to here:
How does an Administrator send SMS or Text Messages? (Community Edition)
- The push notification receiver (a profile owner, like a parent or guardian) needs the latest version of the Operoo app (You can learn how to do this here.)
- The Push Notifications feature needs to be turned on for the organisation/school that you're a part of. This can be done by the Organisation Administrator requesting it be turned on via Operoo Support.
- For iOS users, they need to ensure they 'Allow Operoo to send notifications':
Usage
Sending a Push Notification to a user can be done from 3 areas within Operoo Admin:
- Editing an eForm
- Editing a Group
After clicking on 'Send Push Notification', a popup will open up and ask you to provide the message you would like to send.
Provide your message and click on the 'Preview' button, and then 'Send'.
Once that is done, registered users should receive a push notification on their mobile device.
