Step 3: Choosing a Design Theme #
From the ‘Design’ tab, From the ‘Design’ tab, you can choose a ‘theme‘ for your notification alert and this will be the layout of the Custom Notifications that will be displayed on your website. From here, you can pick from a vast amount of themes that allows you to create any type of notification alerts (Sales, Reviews, Comments, Download stats, etc.).

You can also use the drop-down menu ‘Position’ to change the position of the image: left or right. Basically, Custom notification consists of Three rows. From the ‘Typography’ section, you can change the font size for each row as well.
Step 4: Configure Template Content And Upload CSV #
Here in the ‘Content’ tab you can modify your ‘Notification Template’ and add your preferred content text, add multiple notifications manually one-by-one or create them in bulk using a CSV file. These settings may vary depending on your notification theme selection.
Now upload a CSV file containing notification details to create them in bulk. You can click on the ‘Sample CSV’ button to download a template CSV file and ensure your file format is correct. This template will include all the required columns for your notification data (e.g., title, content, image URL, etc.).
Upload your prepared CSV file containing notification details. Click the ‘Upload CSV’ button and select your CSV file from your computer. NotificationX will validate the uploaded file format. If there are any errors (missing columns, invalid data types), you will receive an error message explaining the issue.
If the CSV file contains more than 100 notifications, a warning message will appear informing you that only the first 100 entries will be processed due to limitations. NotificationX will process the valid entries (up to 100) from your CSV file.
After that, individual notifications will be created based on the information provided in the CSV File. Modify the Notification Template to define the desired text content for your notifications.
