Create push notification categories
Push notification categories can be used to send targeted push notifications to specific groups of attendees. For example, exhibitors and staff may need to receive important information about bump-in which other attendees such as speakers and sponsors may not need to know about.
Push notification categories allow attendees to choose which categories or push notification groups they would like to be a part of.
Please note
An attendee will ALWAYS have the option to opt-out of a push notification category, even if enabled by default.
To create push notification category
- Navigate to App > Push Notifications from the Navigation Menu
- Navigate to the Categories tab
- Click + Add a Category
- Input a Category Title
- Select Enabled by Default status
- Yes: Attendees will be automatically assigned to this category unless they choose to opt-out.
- No: Attendees will not be part of this category unless they choose to opt-in.
Please note
Only attendees can control which category they belong to. There is no way to lock an attendee into a push notification category.
