Targeted push notifications

Reach the right members on their phones.

A WhatsApp group reaches everyone or no one, and half your members have it muted. Comnly sends push notifications straight to members’ phones and lets you target exactly who should get each one, by interest, category, team, or who is going to an upcoming event. The right members get the message, and the rest are not spammed into tuning out.

  • Direct to every member’s phone
  • Target by interest or category
  • Target event followers
  • Recipient preview before sending
  • Honours each member’s preferences

What you can do

The full feature surface

Straight to the lock screen

Posts and notices arrive as a push notification on iOS and Android, not another unread message buried in a chat. Members see what matters without scrolling.

Target by interest, category, or team

Tell the football fans the match is on, remind the quiz regulars about Thursday, or send the darts team a fixture change, without bothering the members it does not apply to.

Target upcoming event followers

Send a reminder or a change only to the members who have said they are coming to a given event. Last-minute venue change reaches exactly the people walking out the door.

See who you will reach before you send

A live recipient preview shows how many members match your targeting and how many have a phone ready to receive the push, so there are no surprises after you hit send.

Critical notices reach everyone

For must-read notices, Comnly pushes to every member and falls back to email for anyone who has not been reached, then tracks who has acknowledged. Important news does not depend on luck.

Members stay in control

Every send respects each member’s notification preferences, and members can fine-tune what they hear about. Targeting plus preferences is what keeps notifications welcome rather than noise.

How it works

From idea to delivered in minutes

STEP 01

Write the post

Compose your update, notice, or reminder as normal. Add a photo, an event, or a payment link if it needs one.

STEP 02

Choose who hears it

Pick the whole club or narrow to an interest, category, team, or the followers of an upcoming event. The recipient preview confirms your audience.

STEP 03

Send and track

Members get the push on their phone. You see read rates, and for critical notices, exactly who has acknowledged.

FAQ

Common questions

Do members need the app to get push notifications?

Yes. Push notifications are delivered through the free Comnly app on iOS and Android. Members who prefer the web still see everything in their feed and inbox, and critical notices also fall back to email.

How does targeting work?

When you compose a post you can target the whole club or narrow it by interest, category, team, committee, or the followers of a specific upcoming event. A live recipient preview shows exactly how many members match before you send.

Will members get spammed?

That is exactly what targeting is built to prevent. Members only get the notifications relevant to them, and each send honours their personal notification preferences, so a well-targeted club feels far calmer than a busy WhatsApp group.

What about time-sensitive turnout moments?

You can send an immediate notification for last-minute moments, such as a singer starting now or a late bar opening. These appear highlighted in the app and are ideal for converting a quiet night into turnout.

Can members turn notifications off?

Yes. Members control their own notification preferences. Comnly always respects those settings, while still ensuring genuine critical notices reach them through the channels they have left enabled.
