Push notifications in the Nimanto app

By Nimanto 2 min read

In short

Allow notifications when the app asks, then choose under Account, Notifications which kinds reach your phone: each reply, guest opened, messages, on the day, morning after, design ready and billing. Set quiet hours, and pause or resume pushes for this phone at any time.

Everything important lands in the app's Activity feed. If you allow it, it also arrives as a push notification on your phone, so you hear about each reply as it lands.

What you are told about

  • A guest replies, or a reply waits for your approval.
  • A guest opens their invitation for the first time.
  • Invitations have gone out, or an invitation is published.
  • A message finished sending, or failed.
  • A guest's address turned out not to receive mail.
  • A photo lands in the album waiting for approval.
  • A Design Genie round is ready, failed, or was published to the catalogue.
  • The morning-after summary.
  • A payment went through, failed, or your plan changed.
  • You were added as a co-host.

Tapping a notification opens the page it is about: the reply, the invitation's guests, the album, the design round or your plan.

Turn them on

  1. Allow notifications when the app asks, or open Account → Notifications and tap Allow notifications.
  2. Under Push to this phone, switch each kind on or off: each reply, guest opened, messages, on the day, morning after, design ready, billing.
  3. Set Quiet hours and the time zone they follow. Nothing is pushed during them; the feed still fills.

A few kinds always push while notifications are on: an invitation going live, album photos waiting, and being added as a co-host.

Pause or stop

  • Stop push on this phone stops every push to that phone; Register this phone turns them back on.
  • The website's Account settings → Notifications has the same switches, with App notifications on / paused to pause every phone at once.
  • Signing out of the app removes the phone, so it gets no more pushes.

E-mail and text alerts are separate

Pushes are the app's own. Reply e-mails and text alerts follow each invitation's own settings: the address and phone number on its Update details page on the website or Settings in the app. See Reply notifications for hosts.

The Activity tab and the badge

The Activity tab lists everything by day, with filters for replies, messages, designs and billing. Unread items show a dot, and the app icon shows the unread count. Reading a notice on the website reads it in the app too.
