Troubleshooting & FAQs
Q: Why aren’t notifications being delivered to active users?
A: The Skip Active Members option is designed to suppress notifications while users are active. Confirm that they become inactive (no interaction for 180 seconds) before expecting notifications.
Q: How can I test if notifications are working?
A: Send a test notification while logged in as a test user. Ensure no activity for 180 seconds to trigger the push notification.
Q: Do these settings affect email notifications?
A: No, these settings only impact Web Push Notifications and App Push Notifications. Email notifications are managed separately under Notification Types.
The Skip Active Members setting in Web Push Notifications enhances user experience by delivering relevant notifications at the right time. This feature reduces notification fatigue, ensuring your community members stay engaged without feeling overwhelmed
