Hi user777, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

Be sure to check out [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1), the [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8), and our [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/get-started) to make the best of your Thunkable Community experience!

This is a fairly advanced feature but you could set up [push notifications](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/push-notifications-by-one-signal) in your app and send a notification to users that way. A more basic way would be to use an [alert](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/sample-apps-and-tutorials/video-tutorials/alerts-and-notifications/display-alert-messages-in-your-thunkable-app).
