Manage Notifications Efficiently

• Search: Filter past alerts by date, keywords, or status.

• Edit: Modify scheduled notifications before they’re sent.

• Delete: Remove outdated drafts or sent messages from the log.

Why Notifications Matter

• Immediate Reach: Ensure critical updates are seen instantly via app alerts.

• Flexibility: Schedule announcements in advance or send urgent alerts on the fly.

• Unified Communication: Replace fragmented emails/SMS with a centralized, trackable channel.

Best Practices for Effective Notifications

• Prioritize Clarity: Keep messages short and actionable (e.g., “Tonight’s Prayer Night: 7 PM, Chapel”).

• Avoid Overuse: Reserve push alerts for high-priority updates to maintain impact.
