Tips & Tricks:

  • Make sure your push notification content is relevant to the subscription/group(s) you are sending it to.
  • Don’t send too many push notifications. Users can get annoyed getting a push notification from the same app every single day.
  • Schedule all of your push notifications once a month. To delete scheduled push notifications, select Scheduled at the top and select the delete button next to the notification you’d like to delete.
