# How to add and manage web notifications
## Learn how to create and manage web notifications in vFairs, enabling organizers to effectively communicate with participants through reminders, announcements, and multimedia alerts during events.
### What is a Web Notification?
Web notifications in vFairs are designed to enhance participant engagement by providing timely alerts and important information during events. These notifications can take various forms, including text messages, audio clips, and videos, allowing organizers to deliver essential updates seamlessly. By scheduling notifications, organizers can ensure that participants receive critical information at the right time, enhancing their event experience.
### Steps to create web notifications?
1. Login to the backend, and navigate to the “Engagement” section in the left menu. Click on it to expand, then select “Web Notifications”
2. Click the ‘Create Notification’ button to initiate the process of creating a new web notification.
3. Fill Out the Fields: You will see a form with several fields to complete:
| **Field Name** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Notification Title | Enter the title of the notification. Example: "Event Reminder," "Session Starting Soon," or "New Announcement." |

| Show Button | Enable this toggle to show the button on your notifications. |
| Button Text (Conditional) | Appears when "Show Button" Toggle is enabled. Enter the label for the call-to-action button (e.g., "Join Now," "Learn More"). |
| Button Action (Conditional) | Appears when "Show Button" Toggle is enabled. Define what action the button will perform, such as redirecting to a session, selected screen, or external page. - Play Webinar - Custom Action Code - Direct to Webinar - HALL - LOBBY - VIDEO VAULT - NETWORKING - RESOURCES - SWAG BAG - RESOURCES\_VIDEOS - AUDITORIUM - INFO DESK - LEADERBOARD - JOBS - SEARCH RESUME - CMS PAGE - EXTERNAL LINK - SWITCH FLOOR - WEBINAR LIST - SHOW BOOTH - CUSTOM ONCLICK - DOCUMENT IN POPUP - LOGOUT LINK - SEARCH VIDEO RESUME - SEARCH EXHIBITORS - JOB BANK - KEYWORD SEARCH - POSTER HALL - VIDEO MATCHMAKING - Round Table Networking - NATIVE POLL |

| Status | Toggle this switch to activate or deactivate the notification. |
1. After filling out all the details, click ‘Save.’ The form will close, and you should now see your newly created notification on the listing page.
### **Enhanced Filtering for Notification Listing Screen**
To make it easier to manage your notifications, we've introduced **enhanced filters** for the Notification Listing screen:
- **Language Filter:** This filter is only visible if the **Language column** is included in the listing.
- **Notification Type Filter:** You can now filter notifications by type:
- Button or Message Notifications
- Audio Notifications
- Video Notifications
- **Updated Filter Order:** Filters now appear in the following order:
- Status
- Start Date
- End Date
- Language (if applicable)
- Notification Type
- Continuous Display
---
### **Preview Option for Notifications**
- A **preview feature** has been implemented, allowing users to view the notification in real-time as they edit or after creation. This provides an enhanced experience while configuring notifications.
Tip 1: Always test your notification after configuration to ensure that the correct fields and actions are set.
Tip 2: Before setting up notifications, if you plan to send notifications about sessions, it's helpful to organize your sessions into Tracks. This will streamline the process of assigning notifications.
