Then select the two check boxes for discussions and announcements. Then click save.

Your Future Leaders need to go into your Coaching with....course and go to discussions. This is where they message you. They need to subscribe to the topic and the thread to ensure they're getting notifications.

When you're writing a message in discussions to your Future Leader, make sure you use an @first name in the main body of the message and click on their name. If they have the Pulse app, they'll get a notification on their phone's home screen.

Announcements also appear on the FLs phone home screen if they have the Pulse App. You can put out an announcement to one FL using conditional release. Go to the announcements tool in your 'Coaching with...'course. Click on announcements. You can use {Firstname} when saying hello in the body of the message as that will personalise your message. Finishing writing your announcement - go down to 'additional release conditions' - select group enrollement and then from 1:1 coaching you can select your student. The announcement will then only be seen by them.
