Notifications and the bell: what you are told and how

Nimanto tells you what is happening in three ways: the bell on the website, e-mails, and push notifications in the Nimanto app. You choose which kinds reach you where.

The bell

The bell sits in the header on every page while you are signed in. A dot shows while anything is unread.

• Tap it to see the newest notices: a reply, a request waiting for approval, a guest opening the invitation, a send, Design Genie news, album photos, billing.
• Opening a row marks it read and takes you to the page it is about: replies and opens to the invitation's Guests page, sends to its Share page, album photos to its Photos page, Design Genie to the design round, billing to Plan & billing.
• Mark all as read clears the dot. See all notifications opens the full list, with chips for All, Replies, Messages, Designs and Billing.

These are the same records as the app's Activity tab. Reading one on the website reads it in the app.

Choosing what reaches you

1. 1Open the menu under your picture and choose Account settings.
2. 2Open Notifications. Each row is a kind of news with a switch for E-mail and a switch for App.
3. 3Flip a switch; it saves at once.

The rows:

• Guest replies: e-mail and app. Turning e-mail off stops the reply alert mail for every invitation you own, whatever an invitation's own settings say.
• Guests opening your invitation and Sends and deliveries: app only.
• New album photos: e-mail (at most once an hour per invitation) and app.
• Design Genie: e-mail (the "your designs are ready" mail; a failed round is still mailed) and app.
• The morning after: e-mail and app.
• Unfinished invitations: e-mail only, the reminders about drafts never published.
• Billing: app only. Receipts are always e-mailed.

E-mail is offered only where turning it off really stops the mail. The bell and the app's Activity feed still show everything.

Push to your phone

The App column is the push notification to phones signed in to the Nimanto app. A note says how many phones that is, or offers Get the app when there are none. App notifications on / paused pauses every push at once. The same switches live in the app under Account → Notifications. See Push notifications in the app.

Alerts per invitation

Each invitation also has its own alert settings on its Update details page: the e-mail address for reply alerts and, on plans that include texts, a phone number. See Reply notifications for hosts.
