Notifications

How the notification system works for coaches and athletes.

Notifications

IronCoaching keeps coaches and athletes informed through in-app notifications, email alerts, and mobile push notifications.

The notification bell now lives on both the coach sidebar and the athlete sidebar. Athletes get a live counter for new program assignments, video feedback, weekly review responses, and coach messages — tap any item to deep-link to its source.

Notification Types

Event	Who Gets Notified	Channels
Program assigned/updated	Athlete	In-app, Email, Push
New message	Recipient	In-app, Email, Push
Workout feedback submitted	Coach	In-app, Email
Workout feedback reviewed	Athlete	In-app, Email, Push
Health alert triggered	Coach	In-app, Email
Client request accepted	Athlete	In-app, Email, Push

Email Delivery

Each notification type has a default email frequency:

Type	Default
Program assigned	Immediate
Messages	Delayed (batched)
Feedback submitted/reviewed	Immediate
Health alerts	Immediate
Connection requests	Immediate

Athletes can manage their notification preferences in the IronLedger mobile app under notification settings. Coaches can customize in Settings > Notifications on the web dashboard.

Push Notifications (IronLedger)

Athletes using the IronLedger mobile app receive push notifications on their device. When they tap a notification, the app navigates directly to the relevant screen:

• Program assigned → Coach’s programs page
• New message → Conversation with that coach
• Feedback reviewed → Session detail
• Health alert → Settings

Athletes can toggle push notifications globally or per-type in the app’s notification settings screen. They can also mute notifications from individual coaches.

For Coaches

When you assign a program or send a message, the notification is sent automatically — no extra steps needed. Your athlete will see it in their IronCoaching client portal and receive an email and/or push notification based on their preferences.
