Enabling Push Notifications

Updated 2026-07-09 · Member

Click "Enable Notifications" to let your browser register you for push notifications; if nothing happens, your browser's notification permission is likely blocked at the system level.

Push notifications are especially useful on mobile, where there's no notification bell. They're one of the main ways to know when something new happens without checking the app directly.

How to enable them

  1. Find and click "Enable Notifications."
  2. Your browser will ask for permission to send notifications: select Allow.
  3. Once allowed, you're registered to receive push notifications.

If nothing seems to happen

If you click "Enable Notifications" and don't see a permission prompt, or nothing changes afterward, the most common cause is that notifications are already blocked for this site at the system or browser level, sometimes from a decision made previously, or a device-wide setting.

Once you update the permission in your browser or device settings, come back and click "Enable Notifications" again to complete registration.

Frequently asked

I clicked Enable Notifications and nothing happened. What's wrong?

This usually means notifications are blocked at the browser or system level, often from an earlier decision. Check your browser's site permissions and your device's notification settings for the browser.

Do I need to allow the browser prompt?

Yes. Enabling push notifications requires selecting Allow when your browser asks for permission.

Are push notifications the same as the notification bell?

No. The notification bell is a separate, desktop-only dropdown of recent activity. Push notifications work independently and are especially useful on mobile.
