What is the difference between automatic (auto) push notifications and manual push notifications ?

In the GLOWSIMS app, push notifications can be either automatic (auto) or manual, each serving a different purpose:

• Automatic (Auto) Push Notifications: In the GLOWSIMS portal, Automatic (Auto) Push Notifications are messages that are automatically sent to mobile apps based on specific settings configured within the portal. Once these notifications are set up, they are triggered by certain actions or events without any manual intervention. For example, notifications for attendance, announcements, or fee dues are automatically sent to keep users updated in real-time. This ensures that parents, teachers, and other users receive essential updates promptly without needing to rely on manual messaging.

• Manual Push Notifications: These are sent manually by school staff for specific or unique updates. For instance, a administrator can send a manual push notification for a new announcement, a personalized reminder, or other special communications that don’t occur regularly.

Summary: Auto push notifications are triggered by the system for regular updates, while manual push notifications are created by staff for custom messages as needed.
