Know how to create and send email notifications.

One add-on provides text and push notification services. The basic cost is $15 per month. You can send as many push notifications as you want within the add-on's rate.

Text messaging has tiered pricing. The basic $15 monthly rate includes your first 500 segments per month. For each additional block of 500 segments in a month (fully or partially used with no rollovers), there is an additional $5 / month charge. All text segments are priced in arrears (i.e. you pay this month for last month's service).
​

Here is an example. A club sends 1,202 text alerts in July. The bill for that add-on service would be $25, calculated as follows: $15 for the basic rate and the first 500 text segments, plus $10 for the additional 502 segments (which consists of two fully or partially used blocks of 500 segments).

A segment is a text message that contains up to 160 characters. If a system user sends a text with 300 characters, that alert counts as two segments for the purpose of calculating monthly billing.

To activate text and push notifications, a system user must enable the premium add-on.

CourtReserve opens the Notification Preferences Setup page in a new browser tab. This is the same page that system users open to configure email notification settings for players and system users. The Text and Push columns are no longer greyed out, which means the services are active, and the columns are ready for customization.

Click the Player Notifications tab to customize the text and push notification settings. Click the System User Notifications tab and repeat the steps.

Optionally, a system user can add a logo to the club's push notifications. Click the Push Notifications tab, click the Select file button, and upload an image.

Go to the side menu and select MEMBERS > BULK TEXT. A new page displays. Configure recipient filters at the top of the page.

Scroll down to the Select Text Recipients table. Use the checkboxes to select one or more recipients.

Scroll down and add CCs. (optional) Go to the Message field, enter the text, check the blue box, and click Send Bulk Text.

Go to the side menu and select MEMBERS > BULK PUSH. A form displays. The Title field is pre-filled.

The next page shows a notification preview. Scroll down and configure recipient filters.

Scroll down to the Select Recipients table. Use the checkboxes to select one or more recipients and then click Send.

A push notification displays on the user's device. The user clicks the preview to read the message.

System users can open a log and view text or push history. Click the history green button in the top right corner of the text or push notifications page. The next page shows the text alter or push notification history. Click the View button to read a message.

Club members, staff, and instructors can enable or disable text alerts and push notifications on their mobile devices. The first time users open the CourtReserve app, they are asked to enable notifications for CourtReserve. Later, users can change those notification settings.
