Online Safety Content - Sending Users to a Specific Content Page in the App

If you would like to send a push notification to your users directing them to a specific page within the Online Safety Centre section of the App, please follow the following steps: 

ABLE_create_push_notifications_onlinesafety

Top Tip: Your selected audience will determine what content is available to select in this section. For example: if you select Staff-Primary, the content for this role will appear. If you select 'Everyone' you will not be able to direct them to a specific section as content differs for each role.

1. Select your 'Topic Type' - if you select 'Course Page', you will be able to direct users to a specific content page within Online Safety in the App. If you select 'Digital Tests' or 'Quick Quizzes', this will direct users to this section of the App. 

⬇️

2. Select your 'Topic' - if you selected 'Course Page', please choose what content tile you would like to use to direct users. For example: 'Need to Know'. 

⬇️

3. Select your 'Page Name' - once you have selected your Topic Type and Topic under 'Course Page', you can type the specific page within the content tile that you would like to direct to. For example - 'In-App Purchases' within 'Need to Know'.  

❗Don't Forget: You need to type out the page name exactly how it is displayed within the App, including all capitals and spacing. For example: After selecting the 'course page' as 'Need to Know', you could type 'In-App Purchases'. This would direct users correctly, whereas 'In app Purchases' would not. 


Social Media Pathway: Link to a Specific Social Media Post 

If you are creating a push notification and would like to send users directly to a specific social media post within your school's social media page, you can do this through the Social Media pathway! 

Please follow the steps below: 

1. Select the 'Social Media' pathway - a 'link' box will appear. 

ABLE_create_push_notifications_social_media

2. If you are viewing the post that you want to share on social media, simply click the URL and copy and paste it into the 'link' box. 

3. Once sent, this will direct users to the specific social media post.

Top Tip: Don't forget to check that the link works correctly and is the correct post!
