Troubleshooting...
Please review the message being entered and check for special characters:
- Only use numbers, spaces and letters here
- ABC 123
- Special characters are not accepted:
- including - dash -, ¿ question marks ?, & ampersand &, and the @ At Sign @
- Currency, math, punctuation, symbols, pictographs and emojis
- `~!@#$%^&*()_+-=<>?:"{}|,./;'[]\`¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº–≠≤≥÷…æ“‘«®∫µß∑☻ ♡ ✓
- Check for accents and tilde marks on your text, maybe removing it will resolve this:
- é, ñ, ü, î, ø, å
Please keep in mind, notifications are subject to a 15 minute cool-down period to avoid accidentally sending multiple to a user. So it would be one notification per user, per 15 minutes.
