In-app messages with push notifications

I'm currently using SMS to send communications to some people and email to send notifications to others.
I like SMS because of it's speed and accessibility, but email is more flexible and less costly.
I'd love to have the option to implement some sort of in-app messaging with push notifications. It would mean I can freely send communications to the phone of a user; they will receive a notification and simply need to open the app to view and respond to it. It would need to have the option of two-way communication to be fully functional, but even one-way only would be a great start.
You could argue that emails essentially do this, but email notifications are often muted or lost in the flurry of emails, whereas an app notification would be much harder to miss.

Sabrina Sherman: My screen does not look like yours at https://help.elvanto.com/hc/en-us/articles/12215426004631, so can't see the 'my groups' feature?
Sabrina Sherman
Darryn Gadd: it may be that your admin haven’t enabled groups to show in the member area OR they have removed this option from the menu layout on the Member Area. Try going to your profile in the top right and there is also a Groups option on the left once you’re in your profile.

Darryn Gadd: I had the same problem. You additionally need to activate 'my groups' in every group category. Admin center -> groups -> categories -> member area settings

It would be great to have deep links for push notifications, to take users directly to specific sections or posts in the app. The existing push notification interface has a field for a url, but it only shows up when the user views the notification in the app inbox and not on the initial tap of the notification.

Is this planned for the Church App or the Elvanto app?

Push Notifications are the one thing that is holding us back from using the group chat feature. We can't rely on our users using the email notifications so we are stuck in messenger which isn't ideal. Is Push Notifications far away?

This would be great to include the in Groups chat with ability for push notifications to all members. Will work great with small groups and communications
