Nightify notifies you by e-mail and, if you use the app, with push notifications. You can decide channel by channel and category by category; essential communications always stay active.

At a glance

  • Where: website: My accountNotification settings (Email and push notification settings page); app: ProfileNotification settings.
  • How it works: a table with the Category, Email and Push columns; for each row choose Yes or No.
  • What cannot be turned off: the technical categories (This technical category is always enabled.).

The categories and what they contain

CategoryWhat arrivesRecommended

Administrator notifications, AI event publicationOnly for platform administrator accounts.They do not appear to normal users.

Step by step on the website

  1. Open the page. From My account choose Notification settings. What you see: Email and push notification settings with the text Choose by category whether you want to receive email and push notifications.
  2. Set the categories. For each row choose Yes or No in the Email and Push menus. The technical rows have their menus disabled.
  3. Save. Press Save changes. Confirmation: Notification settings updated successfully.

Step by step in the app

  1. Open ProfileNotification settings (Manage email and push notifications by category).
  2. In the Notification settings screen set Email and Push for each Category.
  3. Tap Save. Confirmation: Notification settings updated successfully.

Enabling push on your phone

  1. At your first sign-in the app asks for permission to send notifications: accept (on Android it is an explicit system request).
  2. If you refused: iPhone → Settings → Notifications → Nightify → allow; Android → Settings → Apps → Nightify → Notifications → allow. Without permission, Push set to Yes has no effect.
  3. Push notifications only arrive on the devices where you have signed in to the app; after logging out they no longer arrive.

Special cases

  • You only want to receive e-mails: set Push to No for all categories, leaving Email on Yes.
  • You cannot find an expected e-mail: check spam and promotions and make sure the category has Email set to Yes; communications can still be read in Notifications.
  • Different categories appear in the app (for example those for administrators): only the categories available for your account are shown; the list is defined by the platform and may change.
  • Email and push are saved together: if one of the two channels cannot be saved, no change is applied and the error appears.
