Notification channels
Email notifications
Email notifications are sent to your registered email address. They include a summary of the event and a link to the relevant page in Aourly. Email is the most reliable channel for notifications you cannot afford to miss, since messages persist in your inbox until you read them. To configure email notifications:- Open your notification settings
- Find each notification type
- Toggle the email option on or off
- Save your changes
Push notifications
Push notifications deliver real-time alerts directly to your browser or mobile device. They appear as pop-up alerts even when you are not actively using Aourly. Aourly uses Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver push notifications. To set them up:- Open your notification settings
- Toggle the push notification option on for the desired notification types
- When prompted by your browser or device, click Allow to grant notification permissions
- Save your changes
Recommended settings
At minimum, consider keeping these notifications enabled:- Payment received — know immediately when a client pays
- Approval requests — do not keep colleagues or clients waiting
- Overdue reminders — follow up on late payments promptly
Troubleshooting push notifications
Browser is not showing notification prompts: Check your browser settings to ensure notifications are not blocked for Aourly’s domain. In most browsers, you can find this under Settings > Privacy > Notifications. Notifications stopped working: Your device registration may have expired. Open your notification settings and re-enable push notifications. Your browser should prompt you again. Do Not Disturb is on: When your device or operating system has Do Not Disturb enabled, push notifications are silenced. They will appear once you disable DND. Using multiple browsers or devices: Each browser and device needs to be registered separately. If you switch to a new device, enable push notifications there as well.Frequently asked questions
