   Attention

   Once the notification has been sent, changes will no longer be applied to the participant screen.

   1. Delete notification

   We can't collect statistics on notifications, we know if the notification has been sent, but we can't know if participants have received/opened it.

    

   Create a notification directly from the platform

   It is possible to create a notification directly from the platform for administrator accounts.

   To do this, it's important to check in the participant database whether you have an "Administrator account" column. If you don't, follow the instructions here.

   Once your column is present in the database, make sure that your profile (or the profile in charge of notifications) has the "administrator account" column checked.

   Once this is done, you'll have access to the "Send notification" button on the notification page.

   

   Notification center

   To enable your participants to find the various notifications sent, you can create a notification center. This page will be available on your platform or PWA. Find out how here
