The custom notifications alert is used to send information messages to the people in the building. You write them and, if you want, schedule them in the Control Panel.

When the scheduled day and time arrive, or when you send it, the subscribed people get a notification, a vibration and a full-screen alert on their phone. In the building, the lamps installed by Visualfy light up in purple.

The screenshots show the Control Panel in Spanish. You can switch it to English in the user menu.
