Sending a notification

Notifications are sent from Notify, on the Send Notification tab, in the Send a notification panel. Sending is part of Pro, which is $0.99 a month.

1. Open Notify from the sidebar.

2. In Target Audience, choose who it goes to, then press Count them. The line beside the button says how many people that is right now and how many credits it will cost.

3. In Notification Title, write the first line people see, up to 60 characters.

4. In Message Body, write the message, up to 160 characters. Phones cut off anything longer.

5. In On-Tap Destination, leave the box empty to open your card when they tap, or type a web address. See Choosing where people land when they tap.

6. Check the preview beside the form, then press the send button. Its words start with Send to and give the number of people.

What you have typed is kept when you press Count them, so you can count first or last.

A send to 50 people or fewer goes out straight away. A bigger one goes out within five minutes. The screen tells you which happened.

The send button is grey when nobody in the group can be reached today, or when you do not have enough credits. A send never goes out to only part of the group because the credits ran short.

On a team account

The owner and admins of a team see Send for above Target Audience. Choose Company page to write to the people who saved your company page, or a person's name to write to the people who saved that person's card - for anyone on the locked card, you are the one who sends for them. A card that is paused or not published yet is not in the list. The screen counts again as soon as you pick a card, so the count, the cost and the words Sending for beside the button always name the card the message goes out for. Somebody on the full dashboard writes to their own card's people from their own Notify, so their card is not in your list. Every card has one sender and never two: your Notify sends for your company page and for every card on the locked card, and a person on the full dashboard sends for their own. The credits come from your team's one pool either way. See Your company page.
