Getting Started with Broadcasts
Updated
by Andrew Lahikainen
Broadcasts are an excellent way to notify your customers on critical outages and important messages. Broadcasts are an advantage add-on component and can be enabled inside the admin console.
Configuration
There is very little configuration in the admin console required to set up broadcasts.
Enable Broadcasts
To enable broadcasts head to Configurations > Notifications inside the admin console. From here there is a checkbox labelled Enable notifications. Make sure this is checked.
