# How to Send Notifications in Power Admin

## In this tutorial, we guide you through the process of sending notifications using the Communications/Notifications module in Power Admin. This step-by-step video will help you utilize email, SMS, and push notifications effectively.

#### Introduction to Notification Channels

There are three communication channels available:

- **EMAIL 📨**: Compose an email notification without character limits for all, groups, or individuals. Sent from a no-reply email.
- **SMS TEXT MESSAGE 📱**: Short, text-based messages sent and received on mobile phones. Be cautious of character limits to prevent messages from being cut off.
- **PUSH NOTIFICATION 🔔**: Pop-up messages on mobile devices with the ONR app downloaded and logged in.

#### Sending a Notification

1. **Access Communications/Notifications Module**: In your Power Admin account ([https://poweradmin.onrapp.us/](https://poweradmin.onrapp.us/)), click the "**paper airplane**" logo or "**COMMUNICATIONS**" in the left menu.

**Tips**:

- Copy-paste text and emojis.
- Include email addresses as clickable links.
- Attachments are not supported due to SMS and push constraints.
- Test notifications, spell check, and add signatures at the end of your notification.
- **Bonus**: Insert hyperlinks for direct access to documents or web pages. *(A hyperlink is a clickable link that connects you to another webpage or resource when you click on it)*

Ensure effective communication by sending test notifications to yourself, reviewing content, and utilizing the bonus tip for hyperlinked resources.
