How Users Get Notification

Introduction

By enabling Follow/Unfollow feature, you can allow your users to follow specific celebrity, content categories and/or multi-part content (Series). Users will automatically get a notification when the categories, content and/or celebrity they follow is updated. That means when a new content is added to the specific category they follow, or an episode is added to the multi-part content they follow, or a cast & crew is added to a content whom they follow.

When users visit their profile page, they can see which actor/actress, content categories and/or multi-part content they are following. Users can also unfollow the specific actor/actress, content categories and/or multi-part content which they are already following. Users can also see the total number of followers for the specific cast and crew, content categories and multi-part content in the website.

Note: Currently, this feature is enabled only for Revo Template.

How Users Get Notification

Users will get notification when their following categories, multi-part content and/or cast & crew is updated. However, they first need to login to their account to view the notifications. 

For example, if a user is following “Action Movie” category and a new movie is added under that category, the user will get a notification about it. Likewise, if a user is following a specific cast & crew and a new content is created using that cast & crew, then the user will get the notification about it. Also, when a new episode is added to a multi-part content, the users following that content will get notification about it. 

Note: In iOS app, the users will get the notifications even though they have logged out of their device.
