Announcements allow you to communicate essential information to your business! Announcements are shown over a set time period and are displayed on Kiosk+, in the Mobile App, and publicly on your website (via API when linked to a workout). You can even send push notifications to clients when creating a new announcement. This article will walk you through creating announcements, targeting client groups, deactivating announcements and how to use announcements in-app!

In this article, we will cover: 

• Targeting
• Content
• Deactivating an Announcement
• In-App Announcement
• Kiosk+ Announcement
• More Information

Targeting

Admins are able to target which clients see announcements based on program access, default location, and class.

1. Go to Communication > Announcements > + Add Announcement in the Top Right Corner
2. 
3. From this screen you can select clients based on Program Access or Default Location or to simply send to everyone.
4. Once you have made your selections, click 'Create'.

Content

1. Enter your message
   • Your announcement will pop up on a client's app, on the home page.
   • If you wish to enter a long link, all you have to do is paste the URL into the message box and when you click Save our system will auto-format the long URL into a pretty link
2. Choose the date the From Date and To Date of your announcement
3. Determine if you want the Announcement to Publish Externally 
   • Applicable only if you push workouts to your website
   • When checked, the announcement will publish with all related workouts to WordPress and via API
4. Determine if you want to Enable a push notification to your clients device.
   • Select either now or schedule the the announcement for a future date and time.

Note: Announcements have a character limit of 1,000. As a best practice, we recommend keeping these announcements brief as you're able to send a push notification and also display the content in the Wodify mobile app. If you're looking to send a longer message, use Mass Emails or Conversations(in Communications). 

Deactivating an Announcement

1. Go to Communication > Announcements > Choose your Announcement > Select Deactivate
   
   

In-App Announcement

Here is an example of how your announcement will display on the homepage of the App!
