Our inbox notification system ensures you always know when new guest messages arrive. We offer two notification methods:

  1. Push Notifications (Desktop & Mobile Web App): Receive instant notifications for each new message directly on your desktop or mobile device (within the web browser).

  2. Email Notifications: Get notified about each new guest message directly in your email inbox.

How to Enable and Use Push Notifications (Web App)

Enabling push notifications requires the following steps:

  1. Open your profile settings.

  2. Go to the Notifications section

  3. Enable Push for New guest messages

  4. Grant Browser Permission: The first time you enable push notifications, your web browser will ask your permission to display notifications from the Hosthub web app. Click "Allow" to receive instant desktop or mobile alerts.

  5. Manage Browser Settings: You can always adjust notification permissions in your browser's settings if you change your mind.

  6. When push notifications are activated, you will receive web browser alerts for new messages containing the number of unread messages and a quick link to the inbox.

Push notifications for web apps like Hosthub provide the same experience as the ones that come from native apps (Android or iPhone). Web app push notifications are created by the web browser that you are using but they are displayed as all the other notifications. Also if you have installed the Hosthub web app in your device, then the app icon will also support notification budges.

How to Enable Email Notifications

  1. Open your profile settings.

  2. Go to the Notifications section

  3. Enable Email for New guest messages.

  4. After that you will be able to receive email notifications for new messages containing the number of unread messages and a quick link to the inbox.
