Push notifications

Get an alert on your phone or computer when an event arrives.

Every event with notify set to true (the default) sends a push notification to the members of its Organization who turned notifications on. Set notify: false for routine events that shouldn’t alert anyone.

Turn notifications on

Open Settings → Notifications

Notifications are set per device and browser, and per Organization.

Enable notifications

Allow notifications when the browser asks. By default you get events from every Channel, including Channels created later. You can narrow that to specific Projects or Channels.

Send a test notification

Check that it arrives, then send a real event.

On iPhone and iPad, add EmitKit to your Home Screen (Share → Add to Home Screen) and open it from there before you turn notifications on. iOS only delivers push notifications to installed web apps.

What a notification shows

The title is the event’s icon and title, for example 🚨 Checkout failed. The body is the event’s description followed by its Channel and Project, such as #alerts · Web. Opening the notification shows that Channel’s events in the dashboard.
