# 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.

## 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.
