A message on their phones, in seconds. You will send a notification to the phones of the people in your school who have installed its app.

> **Note:** Sign in to HTT Schools as an administrator of your school to follow these steps.

## Step by step

### 1. Notifications

Choose Notifications from the menu. Everyone who has installed your school’s app, and allowed notifications, can receive them.

*Step 1: Notifications*

### 2. Title and message

Keep it short — most notifications are read on a lock screen. A title of around forty characters shows in full on most phones.

*Step 2: Title and message*

### 3. Who gets it

Choose who gets it: everyone, teachers and staff, parents, students, or one class. Nobody else is disturbed.

### 4. Now or later

Leave Send at empty to send it at once. Or pick a time — here, tomorrow at eight in the morning — and it goes then, by itself.

### 5. Schedule it

The button now says Schedule it. Press it, and the notification waits in the list until its time.

*Step 5: Schedule it*

### 6. Sent and queued

Sent and queued keeps every notification: what went, to whom, and when — and what is still waiting.

*Step 6: Sent and queued*

### 7. Call it back

Until it goes, a scheduled notification can be called back. A notification sent now cannot — it is already on their phones.
