Notifications

Steps

Creating or resending a notification can notify users immediately. For a test, use a controlled test account and leave Global notification off.

Send a notification to a selected test user

1. Open Notifications and select Create notification.
2. Enter an optional Title such as Test notice and a required Message describing the test.
3. Add Link only if the notification should open a specific destination. Use a complete URL that the intended user may access.
4. Leave Global notification off. Use Search users to find the controlled test user, then add that user to the selected recipients.
5. Check the selected recipients and recipient count. Remove any unintended account before submitting.
6. Select Create notification. Check the stored item and ask the test user to check their application notification list.

Edit or resend

1. Use Edit to correct the notification text or link, then select Save changes.
2. Use Resend only when another delivery to the recorded audience is intended. Review the item’s audience first; do not use Resend merely to refresh the list.

Fields shown in the interface

Check the result

• The item shows the intended message and recipient count.
• Check the recipient’s application notification list separately. An admin success message is not proof of email or browser push delivery.
