Notifications and Announcements for Groups

A group chat has one flaw as a notification channel: every message goes to everyone, even when it concerns one person. B-Admin-Time splits this into two separate channels — private notifications and admin announcements — with an optional Telegram link for both.

Private push notifications

Events that concern a specific person — a spot freed up from the waitlist, a changed session time, a payment confirmation, the result of the sign-up lottery — arrive as a push straight to them (phone or browser), without involving the admin and without telling the rest of the group. A separate category is the reminder right before a session — each player sets its timing individually.

Bad weather alerts

A group playing on outdoor courts can get a warning before the rain washes the game out. When a slot’s forecast shows a thunderstorm, heavy rain, snow, strong wind or cold, the admins (or only the session creator) get a suggestion to cancel — two days before the game by default, once per session, plus a short note if the forecast improves. Your group sets what counts as bad weather and when the alert goes out, and each admin can turn it off for themselves. When a game is cancelled, players get a notification saying why.

Admin announcements

When information concerns the whole group (a venue change, a canceled session, an important notice), the admin publishes an announcement — a controlled channel that only the admin can post to. It’s different from an open group chat: an announcement doesn’t get lost in idle conversation, because nobody but the admin writes there.

Optional: Telegram

For people who’d rather get notifications and announcements on Telegram instead of (or alongside) push in the app, you can link your Telegram account — no need to create a group or channel, just one connection in your profile settings.

Notifications complement sign-ups and the waitlist. See also the full pricing.
