Frontend workflow

Notifications page during sign-up

Users have the option to personalize their notification preferences at the time of onboarding. This is an optional step and users can always enable notifications later from the user's Account Settings menu.

Enabling Notifications

Upon clicking this toggle button, a native notification pop-up screen will be displayed. This pop-up will appear on both Android and iOS devices.

Upon granting permission for native notifications and enabling notifications within the app, users will receive push notifications on their devices.

Team-Specific Alerts

If the user has not selected any specific teams during personalization but has enabled notifications, alerts will be enabled for all teams by default.
