What it is for#

This is where you create pop-up notices: messages that appear when a person opens the app. Each person sees each notice only once. The screen is titled Notices.

They are for things that must not be missed, such as a welcome or the start of a campaign.

Where it is: Manage › News › Pop-ups.

How to#

Create a welcome notice#

  1. 1

    Open a new form

    Click Add notice.

  2. 2

    Write the message

    Fill in Title (ES) and Body (ES), their English versions, and pick the Image.

  3. 3

    Set the dates

    Choose From and, above all, Until, so it does not keep showing when it no longer applies.

  4. 4

    Switch it on and save

    Tick Notice on and click Save. In the list it turns to Showing once its date arrives.

Take a notice down#

  1. 1

    Open it

    Click Edit on its row.

  2. 2

    Switch it off

    Untick Notice on and click Save. You keep the notice and the count of who has seen it.

Things to know#

Aviso:

Delete removes the notice from the list. If you only want it to stop showing, switch it off: that way you keep the message and the count of who has seen it.

  • Each person sees each notice only once. It does not work as a recurring reminder.
  • With no Until date, the notice never expires. Give campaign notices an end date.
  • A new notice starts switched off. You have to tick Notice on for it to show.
  • If several are due at once, they come out by Order. Chaining notices on entry teaches people to close them without reading.
