On our platform, you can create notifications for competition participants. You can send notifications by email, in Telegram (if enabled), or directly on the platform!
Let's try creating and sending a notification. Go to the Notifications page and click on the Create a notification button.
On the notification creation page, select the notification type On email. Fill in the subject line of the email, write the message for the participants, and select the date of sending.
Please note that the text editor allows you to format the text, insert tables, images, quotes, formulas, etc.
Click on Create. And you will be forwarded to a page where you can select the recipients. Select one or more recipients and click Attach selected.
If you take a closer look, you will notice that the page for attaching recepients is the List of participants page.
After you attach the participants, you are redirected to the Notifications page with a list of all notifications. As you probably noticed, there are new features here in order to manage your notifications. Let’s explore them!
Is your notification fully prepared? Then it's high time to send it out! Click on Confirm notification and the notification will be added to the queue for sending.
After clicking on the Confirm notification you will no longer be able to edit the notification.
If you don't want to confirm the notification, but just want to check it out, then click on the button Send a test notification. In this case, the notification will not be confirmed and you can edit or delete it.
There is an icon next to each notification in the list for editing its settings and content.
The Continue editing does the same thing as the edit icon, but only for the most recent unsent notification.
You can create only one notification at a time! To create a new notification, confirm the previous one.
The cross icon next to the notification is for removing the notification from the notification list.
You can use ready-to-use variables for your notification. Variables allow you to personalize each email for a specific participant.
Make sure that the user has filled in the required information! If the participant doesn't have a full name, last name, or team, the message will display the default variable.
Let's play around with the variables and create a message for the team captain.
In the subject line the variables don’t work!
The process of creating such notifications is similar to the process of creating a notification by email. In the field Notification type, select In Telegram or On platform.
Please note that the All Channels option disables the advanced text editor which is utilized to create notifications.
As an example, let's create a notification to be sent via the platform. Select the type On platform and fill in the required fields. Click Create to save your notification and the button Confirm notification to send it to the queue.
The participant can read the notification by clicking on the notification icon next to the profile avatar.
