Scheduling Email Notifications for an Academy

As an Admin, under Notifications, you have two different types of notifications:

  • Academy Notifications
  • Scheduled Notifications

Select With Reminders to set one or more daily reminders for your recipient(s).

You can add up to 12 reminders per scheduled notification.

You must filter the users based on job and location, and send the notifications to specific recipients only.

You can select if you wish a reminder to be sent on specific days or specific hours before/after the relevant action.

Please Note: You are able to set different reminders per different role. For example, you can notify the employee about an expiring certificate 5 days before the expiration, and also let the Course assignor know 2 days before the employee's expiring certificate.

Select With Frequency to set the frequency of the reminders (daily/weekly/monthly).

If  the Academy Admin has enabled a scheduled notification to be sent to all Managers, each one of them will have the option to turn them off on a personal level, by accessing his personal settings (Me> My Settings> Notifications> General Academies):

Tip #1! Please note that only users with confirmed email addresses are able to receive email notifications from your Academy. 

Tip #2! You have the option to configure the audience of your scheduled notifications based on its org structure! We have selected the default recipients for you but you can filter them down so that only users with s specific org structure will take the notification! To do so, find the notification in question, click on it and follow the instructions below!

Tip #3! When a reminder is scheduled to be sent one day prior to an upcoming event at a specific time, the notification will be delivered within the 24-hour period before the event starts, at the designated time.

For instance, if an event is set to begin on May 15, 2024, at 7:30 AM GMT-7 and the reminder is scheduled to be sent one day before the event at 6:00 AM GMT-7, the notification will actually be sent 90 minutes prior to the event's start time. This is because the system looks for the specified time within the 24-hour window preceding the event.

This works respectively depending on the number of the “Days Before" or “Days After“.

Additional notes:

  • If both of the toggles shown in the above image are turned to yes, the notification will not be delivered to the default recipients. It will be delivered only to the recipients who meet the criteria of the “Default” option + the custom criteria set on the org level.
  • Only one (1) Filtered Recipient List can be available per notification.
  • You can give a custom title to the Filtered Recipient List.
  • If a Course/Curriculum/Event notification is configured, it will have a higher priority over the academy (or custom recipient) notification.
