# Send a push notification in Power Apps
17
-
Push notifications are used in mobile apps for consumer and business scenarios primarily to engage app users and help them prioritize key tasks. In Power Apps, you can send notifications by using the Power Apps Notification connector. You can send native push notifications to any app that you create in Power Apps. We plan to add more notification types in the future.

Add a push notification to your app if:
22
-
23
-
* Your users need to know information immediately.
24
-
* Your users must complete important tasks by using your app, in a preloaded context.
25
-
* You want to engage your users on a specific interval, or you need users to enter the app in a specific context.

> To receive push notifications, each user must have opened the app in Power Apps Mobile once or gotten the app from AppSource in [Dynamics 365](https://home.dynamics.com/).

## Before you start
31
-
In an app for which you have the **Contributor** permission, add a Power Apps Notification connection. If you don't already have an app, you can quickly [create one from a template](get-started-test-drive.md), and you'll have the required permission by default. That tutorial and this one use an app based on the Case Management template.

## Send a notification from a flow
34
-
> [!NOTE]
35
-
> If you trigger a push notification from a flow, you can send the notification to only one user or security group at a time currently.

37
-
1. In [Power Automate](https://flow.microsoft.com), create a trigger that specifies when the push notification is sent.
38
-
39
-
For example, you might want to send a notification when a record is added to the **Case** entity in the Common Data Service.

42
-
2. Create an action for the flow by using the **Power Apps Notification** connector, and enter the **App ID** of the app to which you want to send notifications.
43
-
44
-
You can also rename the connection to reflect your scenario.
45
-
46
-

47
-
3. (optional) Pass parameters to the app when it opens (after the user taps the push notification).
48
-
49
-
In our example, we pass along the **Case ID** and **Initial Owner** fields for the selected contact.
