# Send a test push notification

## Preview a notification on your own device before sending it out to your customers.

Test notifications give you a sneak peek at how your push notification will look to your users. You can check out the message, formatting, and any promo details you want to share. By taking a moment to preview the notification on your device, you'll ensure it hits the right notes and connects with your audience, making your communications even more effective.

1. Go to Bopple Back Office
2. In the `Notifications` page, click `+ Schedule notification`
3. Add your title and message for the notification
4. In the notification preview area, click `Send test`
5. If your account is connected for tests, you'll receive the push straight away

### Connecting your account for test notifications

2. Open the app on your phone
3. Login or sign up using the same email you are logged in to Back Office with
