# Create and Send Custom Desktop or Mobile Notifications

Create custom notifications that appear on Salesforce desktop or mobile when important events occur. Use a process in Process Builder, Apex code, or the invocable action API to send the notification.

- **[Create a Desktop or Mobile Notification](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.notif_builder_custom_type.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Define the custom notification’s details.
- **[Add a Mobile Action Group for Actionable Notifications](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.notif_builder_actionable_notifications.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can now add actions to custom notifications. These notifications appear on a user’s screen, depending on their settings, and can be used for a variety of actions, such as approving requests, following up on deals that might be at risk, or closing a case.
- **[Send a Desktop or Mobile Notification From a Process](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.notif_builder_custom_process.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Add the Send Custom Notification action to a process, then add recipients and content.
- **[Other Ways to Send a Custom Notification](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.notif_builder_custom_other.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    We’ve made it easy to build notifications using clicks, not code. But if your business needs are more complex, we also support flows and programmatic solutions.
