Notifications
Menu Path: Communication > Notifications
While the Newsletter module is for long-form email marketing, the Notifications module is designed for short, urgent, and highly targeted alerts.
Sending a Notification
- Navigate to Communication > Notifications.
- Click "Add New".
1. Message Content
- Title: The bold headline of the notification.
- Body: A brief message (e.g., "Your order has been shipped!", "Flash Sale ends in 2 hours!").
- Target URL (Action): Where should the user be redirected when they click the notification? (e.g., A specific product page or their order tracking screen).
2. Notification Channels
You can choose to push the message through one or multiple channels:
- In-App (Bell Icon): Sends the message to the notification tray within your website or mobile app.
- Push Notification: Sends an OS-level push alert to the user's mobile device or browser (requires the user to have opted-in).
- SMS: Sends a text message. (Note: This incurs per-message costs depending on your SMS provider).
3. Targeting
- Global: Send to all active users.
- Targeted: Send to a specific User ID, a specific group, or filter by behavior.
- Click "Send" to dispatch the notification instantly.
