Custom Push Notifications

Stay in sync with your clients throughout their planning journey.

Updated over 2 months ago

With Vibo’s Custom Notifications, you can send personalized messages triggered by event milestones, important deadlines, or completed tasks — making sure your clients stay engaged and informed.

What Are Custom Notifications?

Custom Notifications (CNs) are automated messages you can schedule to:

  • Send reminders or check-ins

  • Promote upsells and services

  • Congratulate your clients on important milestones

  • Alert you when key actions are completed (like a song added or add-on selected)

You can send up to 30 notifications per event.

🧠 Smart Delivery
Notifications are sent according to each event’s time zone, so you can be sure the timing is just right.

How Do Custom Notifications Work?

Notifications can be scheduled based on the Event Date, Lockout Date, or Event Created Date, and are sent according to the event’s time zone.

🕓Event Date Notifications

The Custom Notifications are sent according to the event’s start/end time. If the start or end time is not set, the CNs are sent by default at 00:00.
In general, CNs are calculated based on the event's time zone, which is defined when a user edits the event.
This rule applies to notifications using the "event date" option.

🔒Lockout Date Notifications

Sent at 15:00 in the event’s time zone. The event time zone is determined during event editing.

✍️Event Created Notifications

Sent immediately at the date and time the event is created.

Example: If an event is created at 10:00 AM on March 14, 2025, the notification sending start time will be at that exact time.

💡 Tips for Using Custom Notifications

  • Use positive, conversational language

  • Tie messages to specific actions or sections in the app

  • Celebrate milestones — they make a big impact!

  • Keep your client’s name and event details personalized with tokens like {{ contact.first_name }}


“Notify Me” Notifications

When a question in your app has the “Notify Me” option turned ON, you’ll receive a real-time notification immediately after your client responds.

🔔 Perfect for staying on top of client progress without needing to check manually.
