Hi @Jr_Bassman,

This is a common report by editors. The push notifications are a lot more complicated than they initially seem. There are many rules we don’t see that determine whether a push notification is sent or not.

Sometimes, we also make events incorrectly, which can lead to push notifications not being sent. I see you’ve done some Waze Academy courses. I also recommend you do [this course on closures and traffic events](https://skillshop.exceedlms.com/student/path/1212530-wme-road-closures-and-events?sid=542d25c7-fc90-4fcc-a22f-ce995ad9bfda&sid_i=2), which talks about some of the rules.

Waze can also not push if there are errors or typos in your event. Make sure you’re [adding them to the exact requirements which are discussed in this wiki page.](https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/create-edit-traffic-events/379730)

If you continue to have issues, talk to @dleop7 who is the coordinator for your country, who can escalate to staff.

Good luck! 🙂
