Push Notifications

FYI: This only applies if the RevRocket website in question has an accompanying mobile app.

Please note that promotion items you create (like contests, coupons and deals) will automatically send a push notification out if the item in question is set to notify.

Push notifications are a great way for businesses to communicate with their mobile user-base. A participating business can log in to their RevRocket admin account and create/schedule a push message. Push messages created by businesses will only be sent to their followers. Site admins have some choices on who to send their message to.

Note: If a user did not grant us permission for notifications they will not receive any notifications ever (until permission is granted)

To schedule a push notification:

Log into your admin account (link)
Click on the left navigation: Mobile App > Push Notifications
Fill out the form:

Active: This must be set to "active" in order for the push notification to go out on time.
Message: Keep this as short as you can within reason. Sometimes all a user will see is the first 50 characters depending on the presentation
Link To: You can link the push notification to existing app content. If you have a deal, coupon or contest running, you will find it in the pulldown menu. Otherwise you can have the push notification take the user to a website URL.
Target (site admins only): You can choose to send you message to one or more of the following lists:

Deals subscribers
Contests subscribers
Coupon subscribers
Specific business subscribers

Finally, click 'Schedule' to complete. The push notification will be sent out at it's scheduled time.

Note: Push notifications go out in 10 minute intervals. It may not happen on the exact moment you schedule it, but it will be close.
