Overview
Publish a post without sending a push notification to the channel members, for example for the canteen menu or other news that isn't urgent. The post still appears in the newsfeed and the channel as usual.
Only available on desktop for now. The Flip App does not have the settings wheel.
Prerequisites
- You are a channel admin in the channel.
How to
- Create a post. See How do I create, edit and delete a post?
- Click the settings wheel next to Create. If you don't see the settings wheel , you are not a channel admin in this channel.
- Switch off Send push notifications.
- Click Create.
Send push notifications is on by default. If you leave it on, posting works as before.
You can only change this before you publish. Once the post is live, the option is no longer shown.
What happens without a push notification
- The post appears in the newsfeed and in the channel straight away, like any other post. Unread badges on the channel and the newsfeed still show.
- Channel members don't get a push notification, neither on desktop nor on their smartphone.
- People you mention in the post don't get a push notification either. The mention still shows up in their activities.
- You still get notified about reactions and comments on your post. People who comment still get notified about further comments.
- It also works for scheduled posts and for posts that need approval: no push notification is sent when they are published.
FAQ
- No. Once the post is published, the setting can't be changed.
- Yes, with rest periods in the Admin Console. See Configure rest periods for push notification.
