Notifications
What triggers a notification, who receives it, and how push works.
Notifications appear in the bell inside the app, and — if the recipient allows it — as a push notification on their device. The bell is the record; push is a nudge on top of it.
Students are told when
- A session, material, recording or checklist is added to their cohort.
- A session moves or is cancelled.
- A task is published, or its deadline changes.
- A quiz is published, or its window changes.
- Their work is graded, or they receive feedback.
- A session is starting soon.
Staff are told when
- A student registers for a cohort.
- A submission arrives.
- Session feedback is left.
Staff notifications go to the members whose role grants the relevant permission, so a notification about grading reaches whoever grades.
A notification is never the reason an action fails. If the notification cannot be delivered, the thing that triggered it still happened.
