Notifications and Learner Engagement
Percipio-generated emails and push notifications, along with Digital Badges, can help you increase license consumption and adoption of Percipio content offerings. Admins can customize some email notifications, and not others.
About push notifications
Push notifications show for users who are using the Percipio mobile app. To receive push notifications, users must have push notifications turned on for the Percipio app and also have the individual notifications turned on. Admins cannot customize any push notifications.
Percipio-generated push notifications for the mobile app include:
- Learning goal reminders: Admins can choose to turn on these system-generated emails for all users in the company. Users can disable them from the Settings menu in the mobile app.
- Learning reinforcement push notifications: Admins can choose to turn on these system-generated emails for all users in the company. Users can disable them from the Settings menu in the mobile app.
- Assignment push notifications: Users cannot disable these notifications. When admins make an assignment and choose to send an email, learners automatically get an assignment push notification.
About email notifications
Users only receive email notifications if they have an email address defined for their Percipio user account and an admin configures the system to send them. From the My Settings page, users can add an email address and choose which email notifications they wish to receive.
Admins can customize some email notifications.

Additional information about emails
- Percipio-generated emails are supported for both SAML and non-SAML users, based on your site configuration.
- If you want emails to look like they come from your company, set the Alternate email address and Organization name.
- Percipio-generated emails are accessible.
- Recipients can open the emails on any device.
- Supported languages include all Percipio site languages. You can set the default email language on the Email Settings page. The default language only applies until the learner logs in and sets their site language, then the learner gets the email in that language.
- Learners can opt out of some emails at any time.
- Percipio runs a nightly program to generate recommendation and re-engagement emails at approximately 12:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. UTC/GMT Monday through Friday. Your learners receive these emails only once per week on a specific day as designated for your Percipio site.
- Learners receive Digital Badge emails on Mondays and Thursdays only if they have new badge activity.
- You can choose to send a single Welcome email instead of the Welcome and reminder emails.
- User data is encrypted.
- No PII data is ever shared with third parties unless you designate it.
- Users with a Percipio role of manager, see an additional section at the bottom of the Recommendation,
Re-engagement, Digital Badge, or Audience owner emails as a way to encourage managers to promote learning with their teams. For every email, Percipio randomly chooses one of the following options to put in this section:
- Assign content to team (this option only displays if managers have the custom privilege to assign content.)
- Share recently accessed content with team
- Check on team’s progress
About Digital Badges
Digital Badges are visual, sharable, and verifiable records of accomplishment enabling learners to socialize their achievements and growth. Digital Badges are issued upon successful completion of Skillsoft course assets delivered through Percipio.
