How to Create and Schedule a Banner Message

New Update: Banner messages can now be scheduled in advance, so announcements automatically appear and disappear at specific times.

Banner Messages allow admins to display important announcements at the top of the app so members immediately see them when they open it.

This guide will walk you through:

How to Display a Banner Message

Banner messages are managed through Admin Superpowers.

Step 1: Open Banner Messages

Tap the ⚡ Lightning Bolt (Admin Superpowers).

Under Communication, select Banner Message.

This will open the banner message editor where you can create and manage banner announcements.

From here you can choose to:

Display a Banner Message — show the banner message right away
Schedule for Later — schedule the banner to appear at a future date

Step 3: Enter and Format Your Banner Message

Tap the text box to enter your banner message. Once inside the editor, type the message you want members to see.

You can use the formatting tools to customize the message, including:

Bold
Italic
Underline
Increase or decrease font size
Text alignment (left, center, or right)
Bullet lists

These tools help make important announcements easier to read.

Step 6: Save Your Message

When you finish editing your banner text, click the ✓ checkmark to save your message.

You can now continue customizing the banner.

Banner messages can include additional features to make them more interactive and visually clear.

To Add an Action Button

Enable the Action Button option.
Select the Action type (for example, Web Link).
Click Edit Design if you want to customize the button’s appearance.

You can then configure the following:

Title – The text that appears on the button (for example: Click Here).
Link – Paste the URL you want the button to open.
Embedding – Choose whether the link opens inside the app or in the device’s external browser.

Once everything is set, click Done to save the button.

You can also select a color theme for the banner.

Available options include:

Information
Urgent
Fun
Translucent

These themes help visually communicate the importance of the message.

If you prefer a specific color, you can click Customize Exact Color and choose the exact color you want.

How to Schedule a Banner Message

The scheduling feature allows you to prepare announcements in advance so they automatically appear in the app at the right time.

This is helpful for things like:

School reminders
Event announcements
Holiday notices
Registration deadlines

Step 1: Create Your Banner Message

Follow the steps above to enter your banner text and customize its appearance.

Step 2: Set the Start Date and Time

Under Scheduling, choose the date and time when the banner should appear.

For example: March 30 at 8:00 AM

Step 3: Set the End Date and Time

You can also choose when the banner should automatically disappear.

For example: March 31 at 11:59 PM

This ensures the message only appears during the time it is relevant.

Once the schedule is set, click Schedule Banner.

Your banner message will now automatically appear and disappear based on the schedule you selected.

Viewing Scheduled Banner Messages

After scheduling a banner message, you can:

Click View Scheduled Events
See a preview of what the banner will look like

This allows you to confirm that the message is scheduled correctly before it appears in the app.
