ShiftSync can let you know when something needs your attention — by email, by push, or both. You control all of it on the Notifications tab.

Open your notification settings

  1. Click Settings in the left sidebar.
  2. Open the Notifications tab.

Choose what you’re notified about

Under Notifications, each type of notification has an Email and a Push checkbox. Tick or untick them to choose how you’re told. Today this covers Friend requests.

Turn on push for this device

Push notifications are set per device, so turn them on for each phone or computer you want alerts on. Under Push notifications:

  • If push is off, click Enable on this device and allow notifications when your browser asks.
  • Once it’s on you’ll see Push notifications are on for this device. Click Send test to check it works, or Turn off on this device to stop them here.

The devices you’ve enabled are listed here. The one you’re using shows This device, and you can Remove any of the others.

On iPhone or iPad

Push only works once ShiftSync is added to your Home Screen. If it isn’t yet, you’ll be prompted to Install to enable notifications — see Install ShiftSync on your phone or computer. Once you’ve opened it from the Home Screen icon, come back here and select Enable on this device.

Not getting notifications?

If your browser is blocking them, ShiftSync shows a note to re-enable notifications in your browser settings and reload. For more help, click Trouble receiving notifications? for links to your browser and operating-system settings.
