Mobile Notification

Note! For this feature to work you need to have at least one or more mobile notification modules activated and you need to enable mobile notifications in HostBill Admin → Extras → Mobile Notifications. Only then you will be able to create a mobile notification (via a text message or a push notification, depending on the module used).

The notification can be sent to one or multiple clients at once - you can use filters (country, related service and server) to search for clients. You can compose a new message or use one of the pre-made templates. The newly created message can also be saved as a template. You can also use variables in message - the list of available variables will be displayed below the message body. The notification can be sent using all active modules (modules that you had perviously activated and configured) or using specific module/s only.
