Symiko can send notifications straight to your phone or computer – for example for a new task, a published rota, an answer to your request or a shift swap. Without them, you would have to open the app yourself to check for news.
How to turn them on
Open your profile: on a phone, the circle with your photo or initial at the top right; on a computer, your name at the bottom of the sidebar.
Find the “Notifications on your device” card and tap “Turn on”.
Allow notifications when your browser or phone asks.
The card shows “Switched on.” You can switch them off again with “Turn off”.
The setting applies to the device you turn it on with. If you use Symiko on your phone and your computer, turn it on on both.
In the browser on an iPhone
On an iPhone, notifications from the browser only arrive once Symiko is on your home screen. Otherwise you see: “This device does not support notifications.” First add Symiko to your home screen (in Safari: share icon → “Add to Home Screen”), open it from there and then turn on notifications.
If notifications are blocked
- In the browser
- If it says “Your browser has blocked notifications for this site.”, you can only allow them again for symiko.de in your browser settings.
- In the app
- If it says that notifications are turned off in your phone settings, allow them for Symiko in your phone's system settings.
There are no settings for email notifications in your profile. Individual emails, such as invitations or password resets, arrive regardless.
