Notification types

What each Classes notification means, when it's sent and who gets it.

Ask Classy

Explains what happened when you get a notification and why you in particular got it, for announcements, sessions, groups, charges and running the school.

Every notification is saved in the Notifications panel and, if you use the mobile app and allowed notifications, is also sent as a push notification to your phone.

Every kind can be turned off one by one in My Profile → Notifications. Staff kinds are in a separate Organizer Notifications part there. A turned-off kind appears neither in the panel nor on your phone.

Members added by the school without their own Classes account don't receive notifications. A notification with a linked page, for example a reply to a ticket in Help desk or an offered plan choice, opens when pressed in the Notifications panel; the others only describe the event.

Good to know

Notifications already sent don't disappear if you later turn their kind off in settings.

Whole-school announcements are sent to members of every group in the school. Check the announcement's audience label, **Everyone** means the whole school.

How do I stop notifications about new announcements?
