The Announcements feature (available on app version 7.2303.0 or later) allows you to communicate with clients through Push Notifications or Promotional Banners directly in the app. This feature is exclusively part of the Business add-on!
What You Can Do With Announcements
Use Announcements to:
- Create and send Push Notifications or customizable in-app Promo Banners.
- Add a call-to-action or a redirect URL to guide clients to a page or offer.
- Advertise promotions, seasonal offers, and campaigns at scale without the need for external tools.
- Announce schedule changes, upcoming classes, reminders, and more.
With Announcements, you can save time, reach more clients, and scale communication across your business.
