# How to Make an Announcement
## This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up event announcements from the event backend.
**Steps to Set Up an Announcement**
1. **Access the Event Backend**
- Navigate to the backend of the desired event.
2. **Go to the Marketing Section**
- Select the **"Web Notifications"** menu.
3. **Create a Notification**
- By default, no announcements are added to the event; users must manually add them.
- Click on **"Create Notifications"** to add a new announcement.
4. **Choose the Notification Type**
- There are four types of announcements that can be sent to event attendees:
- **Button or Message Notifications**: Used for text announcements or to add a button that redirects users to a specific link (e.g., an event starting soon with a session link).
- **Audio Notifications**: Used for voice announcements.
- **Video Notifications**: Used for video announcements
5. **Fill Out Notification Details**
- Based on the notification type, different fields will populate:
- **Notification Title**: Appears as the heading of the announcement.
- **Notification Message**: Appears as the text of the announcement.
- **Start and End Time**: Define the display duration of the announcement.
- **Language**: Select the language for the announcement.
- **Continuous Display**: Enable this option to keep the announcement visible continuously.
6. **Segment the Audience (Optional)**
1. Announcements can be sent to specific segments. Ensure segments are created, then select the segment and enable the **"Apply Segment"** button.
7. **Add Media (If Applicable)**
- **Audio Announcements**: Upload an audio file (MP3) or provide a URL.
- **Video Announcements**: Upload a video file or add a video URL. Choose the preview style (e.g., within the announcement popup or in a separate popup).
8. **Add Button Details (For Button and Message Notifications)**
- If adding a button, fill out the following fields:
- **Button Label**: Text that appears on the button.
- **Button Action**: Define where the user will be redirected (e.g., event menu, external URL, or custom code).
9. **Enable the Notification**
- Mark the status button as **Enabled** to activate the notification.
