PennCourseAlert Notifications

Open r3khaan opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

PennCourseAlert (PCA) notifications notify students when a course fills up. We aim to bring this functionality into the iOS app by:

  1. delivering notifications natively
  2. providing a UI, where students can manage for course alerts

While these notifications are currently delivered via text-message and email, we hope that moving the functionality into the iOS app will:

  1. increase usage
  2. reduce friction (e.g. imagine being able to cancel a notification directly from the lock screen, instead of on a website)
  3. reduce costs (sending bulk text messages is expensive)
