  • Passive: The system adds the notification to the notification list without lighting up the screen or playing a sound. Notifications do not break through Focus modes.

  • Time sensitive: The system presents the notification immediately, lights up the screen, can play a sound and break through Focus modes. This level does not require a special permission from Apple.

  • Critical: The system presents the notification immediately, lights up the screen, and bypasses the mute switch or focus modes. Note that this level requires a special permission from Apple.

• Relevance score: set a relevance score from 0 to 100. The system uses this to sort the notifications in the notification summary.

Once the notification is configured, click the Preview tab to preview the notification.

However, Adobe Campaign allows you to preview each type of notification style. Click the arrow in the bottom right to switch from one style to another.
