MMP Notifications

General Detail

International, District Council and Local Union staff can now send Push/App notifications to any member who has downloaded the MMP and created an account.  These notifications can be sent to a filtered set of members (ie by DC, LU, Trade, Class, Status, Gender, and Spoken Language). The notifications can be simple like “LU Meeting tonight @ 8pm” or advanced with incorporated actions like “The Local Union Meeting is tonight at 8pm, click here for directions” and we can send them to their default mapping system on their mobile device.

Please see this document for more information related to ways this new tool can be used.

Example Notifications

When a member receives a notification they will see the following appear in their Notification List

If there is an action included in the notification and they open the app, they will be shown the Notification Message along with the Notification Action Message.

If the member clicked on the action to send an email, their email would pre-populate with all the information you entered into IMSe.  They could then edit or add to the message before sending from their email address.
