# Send Notifications to a Connected App

Keep users of your custom app up to date with timely information and reminders. With the connected app framework, you can use the Notification Builder Platform or Apex Push to send custom notifications.

- **[Send Mobile Push Notifications](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connected_app_mobile_push_notifications.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Mobile push notifications allow Lightning Platform mobile app developers to easily push notifications to their users’ mobile devices when business events occur in the customers’ orgs. To enable push notifications, you must use the mobile connected apps framework.
- **[Send Custom Notifications with Notification Builder Platform](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connected_app_notifications_custom.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Subscribe your connected apps to custom notification types to receive and display in-app and push notifications. Subscribing allows you to send custom notifications to users in your own org. Or you can package your app for distribution and the custom notifications it subscribes to along with it, including the notification types and triggers.
