Push Notifications Guidelines

The guidelines set forth below are for push notifications in the É«»¨Ìà Go mobile app. The É«»¨Ìà Go mobile app is the official university app for the É«»¨ÌÃ.  It is the one-stop-shop for all app functions to the university’s audience: students, faculty, staff and visitors.  University Marketing and Communications (UMC) helps manage the app brand, user experience (including navigation and content hierarchy) and notifications.

Push notifications are a useful communication tool to get a timely message into the hands of our users.

When a user allows us to send push notifications through the app we can send the following types of notifications*:

  • General push notifications – notifications sent through the app to all users
  • Persona-based – notifications sent based on personas 
*Users who have opted out of notifications will not receive any type of push notification.
  • UMC must approve all messages sent
