Nearby Accounts Notifications

CT Mobile can notify the users when they are near an account from the database depending on the user’s current geolocation (refer to CT Mobile Control Panel: General / CT Mobile Control Panel 2.0: General). This functionality is implemented based on standard iOS platform features, which allows requesting the user’s current geolocation every 10 minutes.

If the user has changed their geolocation to more than 1 km during a given period, a mobile device sends geolocation data to the CT Mobile app. The application calculates the distance to the nearest accounts. If within a 500 m radius at least one account is detected, a notification will appear.

To receive a push notification:

  1. In device settings, allow CT Mobile to access location and send notifications.

    Select Always type of geolocation access permission.

  2. Enable Wi-Fi.

    With LTE on select iPad models, install SIM to obtain device geoposition via Wi-Fi + LTE.

  3. Enable notifications for nearby accounts.

The setup is complete.

To enable nearby accounts notifications:

  1. On a mobile device, open the CT Mobile app.

  2. Tap Settings on the main menu.

  3. In the Additional options section, enable Warn about nearby accounts.

The setup is complete.

The current user will receive a notification about nearby accounts.
