Don't want to miss important notifications while you're busy with other tasks? Then you can enable different notification types for Magma. You can choose between in-app, Push, and eail notifications for different events on the platform.

First, a quick description of each notification type:

  • In-app - a banner notification appears in the bottom left of your Mama window

  • Push - Notification pops up on-screen and appears in your device's notifications panel

  • Email - receive an email notification in your inbox

Push Notifications

Push notifications will appear as a popup on-screen while Magma is in the background and it will appear in the notification panel of your device.

You can enable push notifications in different areas such as the notification dropdown, chat window, and in your account settings.

For push notifications on iPhone or iPad, you first need to add Magma to your home screen.

If your browser supports push notifications, or if you are using the webapp or desktop app, you can enable them by opening your notifications dropdown. You will see a highlighted item at the top with the option to turn on notifications.

If you dismissed this message, you can still enable or adjust your notifiation preferences in your Account and Billing settings.

In-app notifications pop up as grey banners in the bottom left of your screen for both the dashboard and the canvas. Clicking on the notification wll take you to the relevant location for it, such as a gallery post, profile, or canvas.
