Notifications

What the app can actually send to players on a trip, and how each channel is switched on.

What gets sent

Every notification on a trip is triggered by an organizer. There are no automatic score, leaderboard, expense, settlement or wager alerts.

NotificationChannelsWho triggers it
Announcement (“Tee time moved to 8:40”)In-app, push, emailOrganizer, from the trip’s Communications page
Trip invitation (with an RSVP link)EmailOrganizer, from Players or Communications
Daily recap (today’s standings)Email + in-appOrganizer, from Communications
Trip reminder (upcoming trip details)Email + in-appOrganizer, from Communications

SMS is not available. Tee-time and group-assignment emails exist for tournament events, not for trips — on a trip, players see their tee time, group and partners on the portal home screen (My Round), and organizers use an announcement for changes.

Channels

In-app

Announcements, recaps and reminders appear in the notification bell in the dashboard for players who have an account. Portal-only (link) players do not see the in-app feed.

Email

Sent to every roster player with an email address. The invitation email carries the player’s RSVP link; announcement emails link to the trip portal.

Push

Announcements can be pushed to phones and desktops. Push is opt-in per device:

  1. Open the trip portal and go to Settings
  2. Under Notifications, turn on Push Notifications
  3. Accept the browser’s permission prompt

Notes:

  • Enable it on every device you want alerts on — each device subscribes separately.
  • If notifications are blocked, the toggle says so; re-allow them in your browser or device settings and try again.
  • On iPhone and iPad, add the portal to your Home Screen first — iOS only delivers web push to installed apps.
  • If the server has no push keys configured, the toggle reads “Not enabled on this server”. Ask the organizer.
  • Turn push off any time from the same toggle.

Sending an announcement

  1. Open the trip in the dashboard and go to Communications
  2. Under Send Announcement, enter a title and message
  3. Tick the channels: In-app, Push, Email
  4. Click Send Announcement

The result shows how many in-app notifications, pushes and emails went out. Announcements are limited to five per minute.

Scheduling an announcement

Tick Schedule for later, pick a date and time, and click Schedule Announcement. Scheduled sends need background job processing on the server; if it is not available the app tells you to send now instead of silently dropping the message.
