# Push Channels

# Overview

The **Push Channels** section allows you to create and manage notification channels within the project. A push channel represents a notification category that is associated with a ringtone or notification sound.

Each push channel uses an audio file selected from the project's **Audios** repository. These push channels are primarily used in the **Broadcasts** module, where a notification sound can be assigned to a broadcast to alert users when it is received.

The **Show Entries** option allows you to select the number of push channels displayed on a single page.

# Add New Push Channel

The **Add New Push Channel** window allows you to create a new push channel by assigning it a title and selecting a notification sound.

Push channels created here can later be selected while configuring **Broadcasts**, allowing different broadcasts to use different notification sounds.
