Creating a custom mobile push notification and sending it out to your selected group of students drives engagement and meets your students where they are. Use Suitable's mobile push notification capabilities to easily and quickly communicate opportunities that may interest your students, time-sensitive announcements, or alerts based on their progress.

To create and send a mobile push notification:

1. Navigate to the Create and Schedule Page
   • From the "Notifications" section of your dashboard, select "Create and Schedule".

2. Choose a Notification Type

• Select one of the four available notification types: News & Nudges, Linked Announcement, Experience Set Recommendation, and Achievement Recommendation.
  • You can learn more about each push notification type here.

3. Fill Out Required Information

• Depending on the type of notification you choose, there are different requirements for what needs to be filled out.

4. Schedule the Notification

• You can schedule the notification for a time in the future (recommended always), or send the notification out immediately.
  • If you send the notification out immediately, it cannot be stopped, which is why scheduling is always recommended, even for just a few minutes in the future.

5. Decide Who to Send the Notification To

• Choose if you'd like to send the notification to only a certain segment of students, or to all students.
  • If you are sending to only a certain segmentation, ensure your distribution list has already been created.

6. Send Your Notification!

• Click 'Create and Schedule' or 'Send It' at the bottom of the page.
  • View upcoming or past mobile push notifications with these instructions.
  • Learn how to edit a scheduled push notification with these instructions.
