Notifications

drillmate tells each person only what concerns them, as a notification on the phone. You choose which kinds you get and when the reminder comes.

Turn notifications on

Notifications arrive on the phone app, not on the web. The first time it matters (after you link a child or book your first training) drillmate asks whether to allow them. If you said no, open Menu › Notifications (in the family app Account › Notifications) and tap Turn on notifications, or allow them in the phone's settings.

Choose what you get

Notifications lists only the kinds you can receive, in groups by what you do in the club (As a coach, As staff, As a parent, As a player). Your choices apply to your account on every phone.

For families and players:

• New training — when the coach books one.
• Cancelled or moved training.
• Reminder before training — choose when under The reminder comes: An hour before, Two hours before or The evening before.
• Who's coming — the evening before, if you have not answered yet.
• Absence — when the coach marks the child absent.
• Training summary — what the team worked on.
• Trophies.
• Membership fee — before the due day, and when a payment is not recorded yet.
• Notices — notices from the coaches and the club, days off, enrolment forms and medical checks.
• How hard it was — for a player with their own account, a short question after training.

For coaches and staff:

• New training and Moved, postponed or cancelled — when someone else on the staff changes your team's schedule.
• Notices and days off.
• Family requests — a family asks for a pause or for a player to leave.
• Covers — someone asks you to lead a training, or cannot lead yours.

A coach working on their own sends the trainings and notices, so those do not come back to them.

Answer from the notification

The "who's coming" notification about one child has two buttons: Coming and Not coming. Tap one and the answer is saved without opening the app. If answers have already closed, or you are signed out, the notification says so and opens the training instead.

Not getting notifications?

• Check that notifications are allowed for drillmate in the phone's settings.
• Check the kind is on under Notifications.
• Make sure you are signed in on that phone.
• A family gets training notifications only once the coach has booked the training; regular days that are not booked send nothing.
