# Send a Push Notification

Programatically send a push notification from a workflow

The 'Send a Push Notification' workflow action allows you to send a customized notification (powered by the [In App Notifications](/notifications/notifications.md)) to any of your app's users.

#### Setup 'Send a push notification' action

To send a push notification to a user, you need to configure a few fields:

* **Icon or Icon Link** You can specify the icon that's used in the notification, this could be a dynamic profile picture or logo, or one of Noloco's built-in icons
* **Message** Set the text of the notification, this will appear in the notification centre and the notification popup. You can use dynamic text from the trigger or previous steps if necessary.
* **Link** Control where your users are taken to when the notification is clicked on. To bring them to a page in the app make sure the link starts with `/` like `/projects`
* **Users** Finally, specify the user or users that should be sent the notification

#### Examples of workflow-powered push notifications

As per the example above, you could send a notification to the lead of a project when the status is changed, or if they have been assigned a task on the project, or been made the lead of the project

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.noloco.io/workflows/workflows/send-a-push-notification.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
