Frequently Asked Questions:
Why aren't my clients receiving push notifications?
Clients do need to opt into push notifications from their side! They will be alerted on their phone each time they take a class to opt into push notifications. Clients must also be logged into their account in order to receive the notification
Where can I see if a client has opted into push notifications?
You can check if a client is opted in by going to Clients > searching the client name > click on their profile > scroll down to Preferences
Why can't I see how many clients receive push notifications?
When you create and send push notifications, you will see an approximate count. Your clients have the option to "allow" or "don't allow" push notifications from your app. This is a required iOS and Android system setting, and a client's choice. iOS and Android do this intentionally to give app clients the option of controlling their attention and amount of received push notifications. Clients who "don't allow" push notifications will not receive push notifications. For user privacy purposes, there is no way for your app, or Arketa, to see this information, and reflect it in this count as an exact count.
