Geo-targeted Push Notifications

Geo-targeted push messages allow you to send a push message to people based on their physical location. Schedule a push message to be sent to anyone who enters your church building on Sundays during a specific time to welcome them and encourage them to fill out a connection card. 

Schedule a Geo-targeted Push

1. Go to the Messaging > Schedule a Message page in your portal and enter the message you want to send. Fill out the Send Date, Send Time, and Who gets this message? (see the tag-targeted push notification article) for the message.
2. Toggle on the App Push button, so it turns green.
3. Select a feature if you would like the push message to open up to a specific feature (see the content-targeted push message article)
4. There are two options in the Pick where it's delivered dropdown. Select Everywhere to send the push message regardless of physical location or select Geo-targeted to send the message to users when they enter a location radius.
5. For a geo-targeted message, drop a pin on the map to select the radius where the message will be sent.
   *Note: If you are physically within the scheduled radius for your notification, to receive your scheduled notification, you will need to leave the radius and then enter that radius again.
   
6. Select the delivery window when you'd like the push to be sent. For instance, if the message is going out at 9:00 am, select+/- 1 hour delivery window, and the message will send between 8:00 am and 10:00 am.
7. Click Schedule Message!

Manage Push Messages

After a message has been scheduled, you can view it on the Messaging > Sent Messages page in your portal. 

• Click the garbage can next to the message to cancel it before the scheduled delivery date and time. 
• Under the Status column, you will see either Delivered if a message has been sent, or it will be empty if the message is scheduled for a later date/time. 
• The Type column will show what type of message it was.
