Communication Workflows

Push Notification & SMS Workflows on Salesforce

Connect in-app notices, mobile push where supported, SMS messages, reminders, and alerts to the booking and operational workflows your team manages in Salesforce.

Use different notification channels for different operating needs.

Booking Ninjas can connect communication workflows to Salesforce and operational records so suitable alerts, reminders, notices, or messages can be triggered by bookings, payments, requests, events, memberships, and other configured activity.

In-app messaging can be configured inside supported Booking Ninjas experiences. SMS can be handled through Communication Hub. Mobile push notifications depend on the mobile application, device permissions, push provider, and integration used in the implementation.

Show In-App and Mobile Notifications Where Supported

Use notification rules around the user experience instead of assuming every message belongs in email.

In-App Notices

Show configured guidance, reminders, or announcements inside supported Booking Ninjas experiences.

Mobile Push

Use mobile push where the required application, device permissions, provider, and integration are available.

Workflow Triggers

Use supported operational events and record conditions to start configured notification workflows.

Audience Rules

Use suitable customer, member, user, location, role, or workflow data to determine who should receive a message.

Add SMS for Outbound Reminders and Updates

Use Communication Hub when operational workflows need broader outbound SMS communication.

Transactional Updates

Send suitable booking, payment, request, event, or other workflow messages when SMS is configured for that operating process.

Reminders

Schedule configured reminders before appointments, bookings, events, classes, deadlines, or other supported activities.

Preferences

Use available opt-in, opt-out, or communication-preference data when configuring SMS workflows.

Delivery Context

Review available delivery or provider information where the messaging service makes that data available.

Manage Notification Rules in a Structured Workflow

Control who communicates, which workflow triggers a message, and when internal review is required.

Message Ownership

Assign responsibility for selected notification templates and workflows.

Approval Steps

Add internal review or approval where a message should not be released automatically.

Scheduling

Use configured dates, times, or workflow conditions for selected notifications.

Reporting

Use the notification and provider data captured by the implementation for operational reporting.

Coordinate Communication Across Supported Channels

Different channels can serve different purposes without requiring every message to be duplicated everywhere.

  • Use in-app messaging for contextual guidance while a user is already inside a supported experience.
  • Use SMS for suitable outbound reminders or transactional updates.
  • Use email for confirmations, documents, detailed information, and other configured communication.
  • Use WhatsApp through Communication Hub where that channel is part of the configured workflow.
  • Use mobile push only where supported application and push infrastructure are available.
  • Keep communication history close to the related Salesforce records where provider data is available.

Keep Preferences and Governance Connected

Use available consent, preference, permissions, and workflow information when configuring communication.

Communication Preferences

Store configured channel preferences with the appropriate customer or user record.

Consent Data

Use available consent or opt-in information when defining outbound communication rules.

Administrative Access

Use Salesforce permissions around the records and administration involved in messaging workflows.

Message History

Keep available communication activity for operational review and reporting.

Review the Notification Data Available in Your Setup

Reporting depends on the channel, provider, and interaction data captured by the implementation.

  • Notification type
  • Configured audience
  • Workflow trigger
  • SMS delivery data where available
  • In-app interaction data where captured
  • Push-provider data where integrated
  • Communication preferences
  • Salesforce reports and dashboards

Optional AI-Assisted Messaging Analysis

AI can assist with drafting and historical analysis when separately scoped. It does not guarantee engagement, delivery, or the best channel or send time.

Draft Assistance

Generate draft notification copy from suitable business context for human review.

Activity Summaries

Summarise available notification and communication activity for internal review.

Historical Patterns

Review suitable historical communication data for recurring engagement patterns.

Follow-Up Support

Help staff organise communication records that may need additional human follow-up.

Connect Notification Workflows to the Rest of Booking Ninjas

Use communication alongside the booking, customer, billing, portal, and operational workflows that create the message context.

Notification Workflows Connect Communication to Operations — They Do Not Replace Every Messaging Platform

Booking Ninjas can coordinate in-app notices, SMS, email, WhatsApp, workflow triggers, audience rules, preferences, and communication reporting where the required modules and services are configured. Mobile push requires supported application and push-notification infrastructure. Specialist mobile engagement, marketing automation, notification delivery, customer engagement, or messaging platforms can remain in place where broader capabilities are required. Delivery, reach, engagement, and compliance outcomes are not guaranteed.

Available on Salesforce AppExchange

Booking Ninjas is available on Salesforce AppExchange.

Push Notification & SMS Pricing

SMS, email, and WhatsApp use Communication Hub. Mobile push and in-app notification workflows are scoped around the experience and infrastructure required.

Push & in-app setup

Configured for Your Experience

Implementation-based

There is no separate fixed public mobile push or in-app notification add-on price listed here.

  • Notification rules and triggers
  • Audience configuration
  • In-app message placement
  • Mobile push integration where required
  • Preference and permission logic
  • Testing and rollout
When Core is required

Booking Ninjas Core

Starts from £400/month

for 1–50 Active Bookable Units when communication is connected to Booking Ninjas booking and reservation workflows

  • Booking Engine and Reservation System
  • Availability Management and Rate Controller
  • Billing and Invoicing
  • Request and Contact Management
  • Standard reports and dashboards
  • Basic transactional communication
Implementation is separate. Message templates, triggers, audience rules, consent and preference workflows, mobile push infrastructure, provider configuration, integrations, reporting, testing, and rollout can require implementation work. Provider fees, messaging overages, mobile application services, Salesforce licensing, and other third-party costs can be separate. Annual billing saves 5% on Core and recurring add-ons where applicable. Regional pricing may vary.

Separate Messaging Tools vs Connected Notification Workflows

Both approaches can work. The main difference is how closely communication is tied to operational records and workflow context.

Capability Separate Messaging Platform Connected Operational Setup
Message triggers Operational data may need to be synchronised into the messaging platform Configured Salesforce and Booking Ninjas events can provide workflow context
In-app messaging Specialist engagement platforms may provide broad in-app tooling Selected notices can be configured inside supported Booking Ninjas experiences
SMS Handled through a dedicated messaging provider or platform Communication Hub can support configured SMS workflows
Mobile push Often provided through specialist mobile engagement infrastructure Can be integrated where the required mobile app and push infrastructure exist
Preferences Preference data may be maintained in the messaging platform Available communication preferences can remain close to Salesforce records
Reporting Messaging and operational reporting may remain separate Available communication data can be reviewed with Salesforce reporting

Frequently Asked Questions

What is push notification software?

Push notification software sends short messages to supported applications or devices. A push workflow normally requires an application, user permission, a push provider, device registration, and rules that determine when a message should be sent.

Can Booking Ninjas send mobile push notifications?

Mobile push can be considered when the required mobile application, device permissions, push-notification provider, and integration are available. It is not presented here as a standalone built-in Booking Ninjas messaging service.

Can Booking Ninjas show in-app notifications?

It can where the relevant Booking Ninjas experience, message placement, audience rule, and workflow trigger have been configured for it.

Can Booking Ninjas send SMS messages?

It can through Communication Hub when SMS is configured for the required workflow. Communication Hub includes up to 500 SMS messages per organisation per month.

What is included with Communication Hub?

Communication Hub is £100/month per organisation and includes up to 5,000 emails, 500 SMS messages, and 500 WhatsApp messages.

Can notification workflows use booking or payment activity?

They can when the relevant Booking Ninjas or Salesforce record and workflow are part of the implementation. Bookings, payments, requests, events, memberships, or other suitable events can provide notification context.

Can users have different communication preferences?

Communication preferences, consent, or opt-in information can be used where those fields and workflows are configured for the relevant customer or user record.

Does Booking Ninjas guarantee message delivery?

No. Delivery depends on the channel, messaging provider, phone carrier, device, application permissions, recipient settings, provider policies, and other external factors.

Does Push Notification Software use AI?

AI is optional. AI-assisted drafting, historical pattern review, activity summaries, or administrative follow-up can be separately scoped. It does not automatically guarantee the best send time, channel, audience, or engagement result.

How much do notification workflows cost?

Communication Hub is £100/month per organisation for email, SMS, and WhatsApp allowances. Mobile push and in-app notification workflows are implementation-based. If Booking Ninjas Core is also required, Core starts from £400/month for 1–50 Active Bookable Units. Implementation and third-party provider costs are separate.
