How do I manage notifications?
Updated
TeachMe.To coaches choose which notifications they get, and where, inside the Coach App. Banners, sounds, and badges follow your phone’s notification settings.
Here’s how to manage everything:
See Your Notifications
Tap the bell at the top of the Home screen. It opens your Notifications list. A badge on the bell shows how many are new.
Choose What You Get and Where
- Open the Coach App
- From the Home screen, tap the three lines (≡) in the top-left corner
- Tap Notifications to open Notification settings
- Turn each topic on or off for Push notifications, Email, and SMS:
- Lesson reminders
- Upcoming lessons & schedule changes
- New bookings
- Messages
- News & tips
You can also turn Vibrations on or off on the same screen.
Turn Progress Report Reminders On or Off
The app can remind you to write a progress report after each lesson.
- Tap the Profile tab
- Tap To do
- Turn Progress reports on or off
When you turn it off, tap Turn off reminders to confirm.
New Student Alerts
When a new student buys lessons with you, the app sends you one New student! notification. Tap it to learn about your student.
Student Practice Updates
The app tells you when your students practice. You get a message in your chat with the student, and a push notification.
- First session of the week: you get an update when the student logs their first session, such as Sam played tennis today 🎾.
- Weekly goal met: for a goal of 2 or more days a week, you get an update when the student meets it, such as Sam hit their 2-day goal 🎯.
You get at most 2 practice updates for each student each week. Updates come only for a skill where you taught the student in the last 60 days or have an upcoming lesson.
Send Kudos
- Tap the push notification to open the chat
- Tap Send kudos 👏 on the update
The update then shows You sent Sam kudos 👏. Your student gets a notification from you. If the student removed the session, the app shows This session was removed.
Phone Notification Settings
Your phone controls how Coach App notifications look and sound:
- iPhone: Settings → Notifications → Coach App
- Android: Settings → Apps → Coach App → Notifications
From there, you can enable or disable:
- Banners
- Badges
- Sounds
- Lock screen alerts
Manage Coach Community Emails
If you use the CoachGrow coach community, we email you when:
- A coach tags you in a post or reply
- Someone replies to your post or to your comment
- Coaches react to what you shared. This comes as one summary email a day, at most.
All three are on until you turn them off.
Step-by-Step: Turn Community Emails On or Off
- Sign in to your dashboard at app.coachgrow.com
- Open Settings
- Under Notifications, find the Email section
- Toggle Community mentions, Community replies, or Community reactions
Changes save right away. Every community email also has a Manage community emails link that opens these settings.
To tag a coach yourself, type @ in a post or reply and choose their name from the list.
