Zap Notifications Generator App allows bulk generation of Notifications: onDemand, based on Triggers Or based on Recurring pattern (Notification Types: In-App + Form + Email)!

We are happy to let you know that in the latest version (Released: Oct 2023) of Zap Notifications Generator App, we can generate even Push Notifications!

Push Notifications allow you to send instant messages directly to User’s Mobile. Please note that the user needs to have Power-Apps App installed in their mobile.

Below are some of the use-cases for Zap Notifications App:

Use-Case 1: Sending a general notification like details regarding a planned Network Downtime to all users.

Use-Case 2: Sending a trigger notification like case details when a case is assigned to a user.

Use-Case 3: Sending a recurring notification like: reminder to submit a timesheet every Friday @9 AM. or follow-up reminder for any opportunity that is nearing Estimated Close date.

In this blog, we will show how to configure Zap Notifications Generator App to generate Push Notification for sending a general notification to all users!

Step 1 : Open Zap Notifications Generator App and create a new “General Notification” record

Step 2: Open tab “Push Notification”: Here add the message that needs to go in push notification, the app that needs to open up when the message is clicked.

Step 3: Open tab Users (Users to Include, Users to Exclude, Teams to Include) and select the users to whom the push notification needs to go.

Step 4: Click “Publish Button”. This will generate the push notification in background for selected users/teams.

Thus we can see that how easy it is to generate bulk push notifications using Zap Notifications Generator App.

Besides, each user can also configure which all notifications they would like to have / have-not.
