Why This Matters

Announcements help you share important updates with your clients and staff. They can be displayed on Kiosk+, in the Wodify Mobile App, and on your website (via API when linked to a workout). You can also send push notifications when creating a new announcement. This article will guide you through creating announcements, targeting specific client groups, deactivating announcements, and using them effectively in the app.

Pre-requisite Pro-Tip

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).

1. Go to Communication > Announcements > + Add Announcement in the Top Right Corner

4. Choose the date the From Date and To Date of your announcement
