As a Plek user, you can choose which notifications you want to receive. Some people like to be kept informed all day long; others prefer to view what has happened since their last visit.
How to adjust your notifications settings
Follow these steps to decide which notifications you want to receive:
- Hover your mouse over your name in the top navigation bar.
- Click on Settings.
- Go to Notifications:
Types of notifications
General notifications are sent out based on specific actions on Plek.
These notifications are only about new posts in channels. Notifications for other actions that take place within these channels can be set using the General notification settings.
Changing the setting new posts and chats in groups affects two parts:
- Receiving notifications of new posts in groups;
- Receiving notifications of new chat messages within this specific group.
You cannot set the notification preferences of those two items independently. When turning the switch you enable or disable both of these options on or off. You can decide on this per group.
We don't want to burden you with unnecessary notifications. Therefore, you will normally not receive any push notifications on your mobile device when you are already logged in to Plek via the desktop app or (a tab in) your web browser. You really don't want to miss any notifications? Choose to always receive push notifications on your mobile phone, even when logged in somewhere else. You can do this by enabling this option:
You will receive a pop-up from your web browser when this feature is enabled. If you allow it, you will now receive your push notifications through the web browser.
Did you accidentally click on block? Then go to the notification settings of your web browser to remove the block.
Good to know!
Within a group, you can directly determine how you want to receive updates from that group. To do this, navigate to a group, click on the three dots at the top right, and then click on 'Notification settings'.
