Send a push message to your members, from your own app.

How you send one

1. Write it. A title of up to 65 characters and a message of up to 240, with a counter as you type.
2. Choose who gets it: everyone, or members with one tag, such as a class level or a membership.
3. Preview the audience. You see how many members opted in and how many it will reach, before anything is sent.
4. Confirm and send. Once sent it cannot be taken back, and it counts toward today's limit.

Only members who said yes

Members choose in the Me tab of your app: the switch is called “Offers and news”, and it is off until they turn it on. Members who are no longer active don't get announcements. The other notification switches in the Me tab are separate, so turning off announcements changes nothing else.

Quiet hours are your studio's setting, 9 pm to 8 am to start with, and always cover 10 pm to 7 am. They are checked in each phone's own time zone (your studio's, when a phone doesn't say), and a phone inside them is skipped rather than woken later. The owner changes them in the Broadcasts tab of the admin; managers see them there.

Limits that keep it welcome

• Two announcements a day to start with, which the owner can set anywhere from 1 to 10 in the Broadcasts tab
• Up to 5,000 members in one announcement; for a larger list, narrow it with a tag
• Owners and managers can send; front desk and instructors can't

When it is not the right fit

• You are on the MeetScarlet plan. Push announcements are part of MeetScarlet Pro.
• You want email newsletters or text campaigns. Announcements arrive as notifications from your app, to members who installed it.
• You want to schedule announcements for later or send automatic sequences. Each one is written and sent by a person, when they send it.
