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.
