We all know how important it is to stay in the loop for optimal engagement. Apart from the custom notifications that can be set up in automations, we have implemented a series of in-app and email notifications that keep users informed about what's happening in their learning platform.
General platform notifications
Our platform offers a wide range of general notifications to keep users informed and engaged. These notifications can include updates about important platform news, such as a new buddy pairing.
Notification Template | Details |
Invitation email | An email is sent to each user to set up their account. To edit the text: Terminology>emails>invite>text |
Invitation reminder email | A follow-up email can be sent to users to join the platform after receiving the initial invitation. These emails are manually triggered via Users>Invitations.
|
Welcome back email | An email is sent to welcome users back to the platform after being unuspended. To edit the email's text navigate to Terminology>emails>unsuspended>title |
Password reset | Users receive an email which assists them in resetting their password.
|
Digest notification | Digest emails bundle all notifications from the social timeline about new posts from colleagues, or trainers and comments on your own posts. Each email links directly to the timeline, making it easy to jump back into the conversation.
You can adjust this notifications' frequency via user profile (Profile>Settings>platform update emails), but make sure the platform has the 'Social timeline' feature enabled (Settings>Features>Social timeline). |
Feedback requested | Learners are notified when a peer has asked for feedback on Social Challenges.
Terminology>feedback>notifications. You can then choose whether to edit the link attached to the feedback request, the message, or the title. |

Sessions notifications
There are also a set of Sessions-related notifications. These Session notifications ensure users have all the necessary information to improve their blended learning experience. The Sessions notifications include all kinds of details, from time-sensitive changes in the events to reminders for evaluations.

Editing notification texts
Every learning platform has its own unique style and brand. As an admin, you can customize the text in these notifications based on your target audience and platform branding. That means you'll always send notifications perfectly tailored to your platform.
Step 1. Navigate to Control > Content > Translations
Here you will find all the platform texts that can be adjusted based on your preferences.
Step 2. Find the translation keys.
The texts of each notification can be found under Emails or the corresponding feature. For example, if you want to edit the text of the Session cancelled notification, you should find both:
email text via emails > sessions > cancelled
in-app notification text via series > notifications > cancelled.
💡 You can also use the search function to find the relevant translation keys.
Step 3. Click on the translation key you want to edit.
You will find the text of all the available languages on your platform in the text editor.
Step 4. Make your changes, and remember to save your changes.
