With the Push Notifications module, you can send messages to anyone who has the app installed and approved notifications during installation. The message is sent via the CMS and “Push Messages”.
Messages can be scheduled in three different ways:
- Send messages once a week for a certain period; eg every Tuesday at 3 pm between 1 July and 1 August.
- Send a message once a month for a certain period: for example, on the 1st at 5 pm every month between 1 May and 1 September.
- Send the message "Happy Midsummer" once (1) on June 26, 2021 at 12 noon.
The message can be a maximum of 150 characters and it is possible to send different language versions.

The following Segments can be created:
- Send only to those users who have used the app in the last X hours. For example, send a message only to those who have opened the app in the last 4 hours.
- Send only to those users who are in a certain area. For example, for local information during a festival.
