This feature allows you to schedule push notifications to be sent automatically when new content is published in a specific section of your app. 
This is a different feature than the regular push , which allows you to send pushes manually one at the time from your back office.

Schedule an automatic notification

To schedule an automatic dispatch of notifications each time some new content is added to any of your application's section:
1. Go to the menu Notification > Push > Automate .
2. Select the section for which a push notification will be sent each time a post is published.
3. Optional: Add a prefix to your alerts (small introductory text to your messages. In the example below, "New Article:").

You have the option to create an unlimited number of sending rules (avoid overwhelming your users with push notifications or your users may deactivate notifications on their devices).

In the drop-down menu "Send this message" you have 3 options:
- Any time: the automatic notifications will be sent each time content is published from your section.
- During opening hours: the automatic notifications will be sent during the time slots indicated for each day of the week. The "Copy" button allows you to automatically apply the same hours to every day of the week. 
- During a specific time span: the automatic notifications will be sent only during a given period.
