Sending the same kind of message every week? Duplicate an existing notification instead of starting from scratch.

Keep in mind... 

Duplicating copies a notification's content into a new one, so weekly agendas and reminders take a few edits instead of a full rewrite. The original notification does not change.

Note: Unlike editing, a duplicate lets you change everything, including the notification type, how it is sent (Push Notification, Email Notification, or Both), and when it is sent.

How to duplicate a notification: 

1. Navigate to Notifications on the left sidebar.
2. Open the Past tab for a notification you already sent, or the Upcoming tab for one that is scheduled.
3. Select the three dots on the notification's card, then select Duplicate to New Notification.

4. The Duplicate and Create a Notification form opens with the content filled in. Update anything that needs to change, such as dates, links, or the distribution list.
5. Under When would you like to send this? choose Schedule send or Send Now.
6. Select Create and schedule or Send it. To leave without creating it, select Cancel.

Good to know 

Need to change how a scheduled notification is sent? Duplicate it, choose the new delivery option, then delete the original from the Upcoming tab.
