Event notifications

How to create and launch push notifications, including announcements and alerts.

Updated yesterday

Within Gradual virtual events, you can launch push notifications. Notifications are pop-up messages that appear at the top all users' screens, once published. All types of notifications can be created before an event and can be turned on and off one at a time.

Notification settings can be found within the event settings for a specific event:

Notification types

Announcement

Announcements are used to notify users of an update or call to action. You can add links to announcements that will activate a button on the pop-up that users can follow. For example, "Another stage is live or a session has begun." Here is how to link to specific livestream stages.

Alert

Alerts are used if there’s something unexpected that needs to be shared right away. The alert is stylized in red to draw attention. For example, "A delay on start time or a presentation."

Event Mobile App Notifications

You can send push notifications in the Gradual Go, event mobile app to alert attendees to changes in the agenda, calls to action, and reminders.

Add the notification in the event dashboard, in notifications. You have a 50-character allotment for the subject and a 200-character allotment for the description. Hyperlinks or URLs are not yet supported in these notifications.

Here is an example of what it looks like to attendees in the app:
