One of the key features of Cogniss Behaviour is admin notifications. App creators can configure triggers and criteria so that when a user performs a specific action or submits a report, the system automatically notifies the the admins.

Use Cases:

  • A user completes an activity or scores above/below a certain threshold in a survey.

  • A user reports an emergency or flags a critical issue.

  • Any other predefined behaviour that requires admin attention.

When a trigger is activated, notifications can be sent to users with app admin or platform admin permissions, including details about the user who initiated the behaviour. This ensures timely awareness and response to important events within the app.

  2. Click Create new behavior.

Step 2. Set up trigger & Criteria

Set up the required trigger and Criteria. When the user meets the conditions, the result will be triggered automatically, for example, sending an admin notification or email. This trigger can be based on responses to questions, activities, or other criteria.
