# Scheduled Notifications
You can send scheduled or delayed notifications to your users.
## Before You Start:
{% hint style="info" %}
Adastacks does not store your Adalo information. Your Adalo app ID, collection ID, and API key are erased upon the completion of each request.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
Your app **must** be published to the app stores in order for this stack to function. PWA's and web applications built in Adalo do not support native mobile push notifications.
{% endhint %}
## Video Tutorial
Updated video tutorial is coming soon!
## Walkthrough
**1.** Login to [Adastacks.com](https://adastacks.com) and navigate to your dashboard. (we'll need this for your API Key in a minute).
**2.** Open a new tab in your browser and open up your Adalo app in the Adalo editor
**3.** Once open, place a test button on a screen of your choosing
**4.** Under the "Click Actions" for the button, select **Custom Action**
**5.** Give your action a name, such as "Create Scheduled Notification"
**6.** Select the **Create** option from the dropdown below the Title field, then click **Next**
**7.** Copy the following URL and paste it into the Base URL field of the Custom Action
```markup
https://adastacks.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/notify?app_id=APPID&adalo_key=ADALOKEY&to_email=TOUSEREMAIL&title=TITLE&body=BODY&scheduled_datetime=DATETIME
```
**8.** Set the "Method" dropdown to **POST**
**9.** Add a query parameter called **Content-Type** with the value **application/json**
**10.** Add another query parameter called **api\_key** with your Adastacks API Key as the value
**11.** Add **Inputs** to hold your data for the new Custom Action (*You can name these whatever you like, but below are some suggestions*)
| Suggested Input Name | Input Type | Suggested Input Value |
| ---------------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| | | |
| **Adalo App ID** | Text | *For testing, you can make this anything you like* |
| **Adalo API Key** | Text | *For testing, you can make this anything you like* |
| **To User Email** | Text | *For testing, you can make this anything you like* |
| **Notification Title** | Text | *For testing, you can make this whatever you like* |
| **Notification Body** | Text | *For testing, you can make this whatever you like* |
| **Scheduled Datetime** | Text | 2022-12-19T23:24:30Z
Note that the date formatting when sending in the custom action should be No Formatting.
|
**12.** Replace the **capitalized text** in the URL with the **Inputs** you just made using the **Magic Text** button in the top right of the URL field.
**13.** Run the test request. (See the success screenshot below)
{% hint style="info" %}
Even test actions that fail return a "Test Successful" message so be sure to click **Show Full Response** to ensure the action succeeded. This is by design so that you can still save the action and return to continue setting it up later if you wish.
{% endhint %}
**14.** Save the Custom Action and add it where you need it throughout your app. See below for an example custom action setup:
**15**. IMPORTANT! Don't forget to format the scheduled date to No Formatting by clicking the pencil icon. If you fail to do this, the notifications will not be sent.
