• Use push to notify your learners (Notify yours learners via push notification)

Want your learners to be automatically notified of your communication? Send them a push notification! By default, the title of the communication is added as the text of the push notification. If you prefer, you can edit it to choose your own text of up to 200 characters. 

Make this text as engaging as possible! When learners click on the notification, they will be automatically directed to your communication.  

Notes:

• customization of communications does not apply to push notifications.

• by allowing the sharing of your communications, they become public and accessible to all, be careful not to authorize the sharing of sensitive information.

• options Share/Like/Comments can only be modified in the default language, before and after publishing of the communication.
• the Push notification can only be enabled in the default language but the notification text can be translated in each translation language. Once the communication sent, it is no more possible to enable/disable this option, even if the default language. The notification texts always remain visible for the record.
