A push notification is a real-time notification that pops up on a mobile
device (iOS and Android). It is pushed instantly when the action is
done.

The push notification displays the same content as the on-site
notification. It also displays the eXo Mobile application logo, the
site's name (eXo community for example) and the receipt time.
Clicking on it opens directly the concerned activity.

Besides on-site and push notifications, you can keep track of
activities and events via emails. In eXo Platform, it is easy to control your

- A notification email with different content for each event type. For
example, for the activity embedding a video, the message will be
represented as a thumbnail image of the embedded media, like below:

the activity stream where you can play the embedded video.

- A digest email that collects all notifications during a certain
period and is sent once per day or per week.
