With Circle workflows, you can set up an automation that sends a custom push notification in the Circle mobile apps to specific members, based on the workflow event or audience rules you prefer.  
Here are some ideas for sending custom push notifications:

- Send personalized push notifications directed toward a specific group of members based on workflow trigger or entry rule, ensuring a custom message reaches the right group of members.

- Grab the attention of a group of members and encourage them to take action or interact with specific content in your community.

- Trigger custom push notifications on current trends, activities, and events in your community, allowing you to send timely and relevant notifications based on members’ interests.

## **Key things to know about custom push notifications**

- You can add your community's URL to direct members to a specific location within the community, such as a space, post, event, or lesson.
