Push notifications in PinToMind Go

Push notifications allow you to send a notification to users of the PinToMind Go app informing them that something new has been published on the screen. A perfect way to share the information with those who are not near the physical information screen!

Send push-notifications

When you create a new post, you first decide which screens you want this displayed on, and afterwards you decide if you want to send out a push notification for this post. 

If you select "Send notification" and then Save the post, a notification will be sent out to all those who have subscribed to these screens in the Go-app, and who have chosen to receive such notifications. Those users will then be notified that something new is published, and can open the app to see the new post. 

Push notification and scheduling

Posts with scheduling or another start date/time will send a push-notification when the post is scheduled to be displayed the first time. This means that if you create a post that is to be displayed starting tomorrow at noon, that is when the push-notification will be sent. 


Tips:

  • When saving, it will take about a minute before the push notification will be sent out. If one regrets and deletes the post before the notifications is sent, it will all be deleted and nothing will be sent. 
  • If one later changes a post and wants to send out a new push-notification, one can send out a push-notification also for an existing post, by clicking "Send notification" and click "Save" anew. 
  • If one subscribes to several screens in the Go-app, and the administrator clicks for sending push-notifications to several of these screens, one will still only receive one notification per post.

Why do I not receive push notifications?

  • iOS: On iOS you will receive notifications if you have allowed for this in the app. If you have not allowed for push notifications on your iOS-device, you can do this under "Settings" -> "Notifications" -> "PinToMind Go".
  • Android: If you do not receive push notifications, you have to update the app to the newest version from Google Play Store. In addition, if you have not allowed for push notifications on your Android-device, you can do this under "Settings" -> "Notifications, and select "PinToMind Go".
