# Scheduled Notification Database Setup

To schedule notifications, create a collection to track all scheduled notifications. This stores reminder details, timing, and the Job IDs needed to manage them.

### Example Database Structure

Create a new collection with these core properties:

| Property Name       | Property Type | Purpose                                                                          |
| ------------------- | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name                | Text          | Title/description of the notification (e.g., "Appointment Reminder", "Task Due") |
| Start Date          | Date and Time | When the notification will be sent                                               |
| Related Record      | Relationship  | Links to the main record this notification is for                                |
| User                | Relationship  | The user who will receive the notification                                       |
| Notification Job ID | Text          | Unique ID from Adalo (required for managing notifications)                       |

**Optional properties:** Body, Title, Message, Frequency, Draft toggle, Type

**Key relationships:**

* **Many Notifications to One Main Record** (e.g., Many Reminders to One Appointment)
* **Many Notifications to One User**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.adalo.com/actions/notifications/scheduled-notifications/scheduled-notification-database-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
