Notify allows you to create and manage custom lists. This can be utilized for things like Athletics, clubs, PTA, etc. There are 3 types of Notify Lists, Notify Lists, Combined Lists, and Dynamic Lists.
The first type is a standard Notify List. It is just a custom-built list of profiles. The blue people icon will allow you to add/edit subscribers. The yellow pencil will allow you to change options for the list such as sign up methods and app push settings.
You have 3 options for adding subscribers to the list, "Add Subscribers" "Create Subscriber" and "Import CSV". Add subscribers allows you to select from existing profiles in Notify. Create Subscriber will allow you to create a new profile to add to the list. Import CSV will allow you to import your list rather than having to add them all manually.
The second type is a Combined List. A Combined List is a combination of multiple lists. You cannot add subscribers to this type of list directly, it must be done at the level of the original Notify Lists.
The green eye will allow you to view the current subscribers. The yellow pencil will give you the option to change which Notify Lists are included in your Combined list.
The third type of list is our newest, Dynamic Lists. A Dynamic List is a list based on certain criteria, such as, User Types (staff, parent, student), Campus, Grade, Gender, and Transportation. Since the list is comprised of criteria rather than profiles subscribers will appear as TBD. The number of subscribers is determined at the time the message is sent, not when the list or message is created. Due to the lists being based on criteria, as time passes the subscriber list will update based upon the criteria and which profiles meet those criteria, meaning no profiles can be manually added to Dynamic Lists.
