Radio Base seeks to connect your listeners to your station in a real way. Geo Notifications are sent to listeners based on their proximity to designated locations in the real world!


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: In your Dashboard, select the Marketing module in the drop down menu

Select the Notifications drop down, then select Geo Notifications

Step 2: On the Geo Notifications page, you may begin entering the information needed to anchor the proximity for you notification location!

First, enter the address or use your current location to set the anchor point! After entering the address, you can select the "search" button and the map below will center on the address you entered.

Step 3: Next, you will select the Type of Radius which is a distance radius by default (this means the distance away from the address you entered).

You will need to select the numerical value for that distance in the Proximity Within. Please note that the proximity bubble is in kilometers!

Step 4: You can set the color for your proximity bubble, as well. This is especially helpful for setting multiple Geo Notifications that may overlap!

After selecting a color, select Add Proximity Radius and it will be added to your map and the list of My Locations on the right hand side of the screen.

Step 5: Now that you have a location setup, let's edit the notification your listener's receive! You will see three icons on the upper right hand corner of the location entry. The eyeball icon centers the map on that location. The trashcan deletes the entry, and the down arrow expands the item to show the details. Alternatively, you can simply click on the location to expand it and see the details.

In the Notification Settings, you may input the notification that listeners receive upon entering the location's radius and the message they receive upon leaving that area. You may also designate which group should receive these messages. Don't forget to save changes once you have entered the details for you Geo Notification!

Congratulations! You have now successfully setup your Geo Notifications. Now, when listeners are out and about, they can be receive region bound notifications!
