Push Notifications

Push Notifications are available for Android & iOS.

• To receive notifications, users must have notifications enabled on their device.

• You'll be able to send one message to all users at the same time.

• Notifications are meant to be a visual prompt to provide information or cue the user to open the app. Focus on the most important information.

To Send Notifications:

1: From Uscreen Dashboard, select People, then Push Notifications.

2: Click Send Notification,

3: Enter Title (60 characters including spaces; automatically uses bold print)

4: Enter Message (175 characters including spaces)

5: Click Send Now.

Creating Push Notifications: Use plain text and emojis. Use the Title as part of message. Don’t repeat information in the title and body. Do NOT use html formatting or special characters (&). These are not recognized and text will appear exactly as entered.

Features:

Notifications function differently, but improvements are planned for Android.

• Notification shows App Icon: iOS-Yes; Android-No

• Tap notification to open app: iOS-Yes; Android-No

• Length (# of characters): iOS: Title-45 & Body-175; Android: Title-55 & Body-55

• Try sending messages using Title (50 characters) and Body (50 characters).
