## Overview
When you're reviewing who's assigned a learning item, you can send a learner a message straight from the report — for example a nudge to finish an overdue course, or context about why something matters. You compose a title and a formatted message, and SuperPath delivers it to that learner with a link back to the learning. This article covers sending to a single learner; to message several at once, see *How to Send a Bulk Notification to Selected Learners*.

## How to send a notification to one learner
1. Open the quick report for the item (click the **View learners** icon on the item), or open a learner's profile and go to their learnings.
2. Find the learner you want to message.
3. In their row, click the **Send Notification** icon (the paper-plane icon).
4. In the **Send Notification** modal, enter a **Notification title** and write your **Message body**.
5. Click **Send**.

You'll see a confirmation once the notification has been sent.

## Writing the message and using variables
The message body has a small formatting toolbar for **bold**, *italic*, bullet and numbered lists, and links. Both the title and the body have an **Insert variable** menu so the message personalises itself for each recipient. Available variables include:

* **Recipient** — first name, last name and full name.
* **Learning** — the learning title.
* **Sender** — your name.
* **Platform** — your platform name.

Inserted variables appear as a small pill (for example `{{recipientFirstName}}`) and are filled in with the learner's details when the notification is sent.

## How the notification is delivered
The notification is sent to the learner by email, Slack and in-app push (depending on how they receive notifications), and it includes a **View learning** button that takes them straight to the item.

## Things to keep in mind
* You need both a title and a message body before the **Send** button becomes available.
* Managers and People Managers can only notify learners within their scope — a recipient outside your scope won't be sent the message.
* The **View learning** link points at the specific assignment, pathway step or roadmap the learner was notified about.

## FAQs
**Can I personalise the message?**
Yes — use the **Insert variable** menu in the title or body to add the recipient's name, the learning title, your name or the platform name.

**Where else can I send a notification from?**
As well as the quick report, you can send one from a learner's profile learnings list using the same **Send Notification** action.

**How does the learner receive it?**
By email, Slack and in-app push, with a button that links them to the learning.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **People Managers** and **Content Managers** can send a notification to a learner. **Managers** and **People Managers** can only send to learners within their scope. **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot send learner notifications.
