Notifications Rules

[Sue Busher]

Hi,

Do you know if the admin has the ability to set the notification rules for staff / pupils etc. We are loathed to promote the app until this is possible as feedback from pupils and staff so far are that they ignore the notifications as they predominately aren’t relevant to them. I know they could do it all themselves by in a school of over 1800 pupils, that’s a near impossible task.

If a pupil gets a phone notification that’s not relevant, they will soon delete the app.

Hi Sue,

The app only sends notifications when an assignment is set.  The development team were very clear that we didn’t want all notifications going to phones – they’d never stop buzzing.

In the future, we hope to add a feature allowing you to also send your own push notifications.  (There are also conversations about a global control for in-platform notifications.)

Kind regards

Graham
