# Notification settings
|
|
|
|
DevPlace notifies you when something involves you: a comment on your post, a reply to your comment, a
|
|
mention, an upvote on your work, a new follower, a direct message, a badge, a level-up, or an update
|
|
on an issue you filed. You decide which reach you, and how.
|
|
|
|
Each notification type is delivered on three independent channels:
|
|
|
|
- **In-app** - the notification appears on DevPlace (the bell in the top navigation and the
|
|
`/notifications` page). While you have DevPlace open, an enabled in-app notification also raises a
|
|
live, click-through toast in real time, and the unread bell and message badges update instantly,
|
|
so you see it without reloading.
|
|
- **Push** - a native web push notification is sent to the devices where you enabled push.
|
|
- **Telegram** - the notification is delivered to your paired Telegram chat. This channel works only
|
|
once you have connected Telegram, and it is **off by default** for every type.
|
|
|
|
The channels are independent: you can keep a type in-app but silence its push (or the reverse), and
|
|
enable Telegram for only the types you care about. The live toast rides the in-app channel: silence a
|
|
type's in-app box and it neither lands in your bell nor pops a toast.
|
|
|
|
## Where to find it
|
|
|
|
Open your profile and choose the **Notifications** tab, or go straight to
|
|
`/profile/{{ uname }}?tab=notifications`. The tab is private: only you (and administrators) can see or
|
|
change your settings.
|
|
|
|
Each notification type is one row with three switches, **In-app**, **Push**, and **Telegram**. The
|
|
Telegram switch stays disabled until you connect Telegram. Ticking or unticking a switch saves
|
|
immediately - there is no separate save button.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
## Defaults
|
|
|
|
In-app and push are **on** for every type until you turn them off, so notifications work out of the
|
|
box; Telegram is **off** by default and delivers only once you connect it. A type you have never
|
|
changed follows the platform default; once you change a switch, your choice is remembered and no
|
|
longer follows later changes to the default.
|
|
|
|
Use **Reset to defaults** at the bottom of the tab to clear all of your choices and return to the
|
|
platform defaults.
|
|
|
|
## Turning push on
|
|
|
|
Toggling **Push** for a type only takes effect once you have enabled push notifications on the device
|
|
with the bell-with-slash button in the top navigation or on the `/notifications` page. Until then,
|
|
push has nowhere to be delivered. Likewise, the **Telegram** switch only delivers once you have paired
|
|
Telegram - see [Devii on Telegram](/docs/telegram.html) to connect your account.
|
|
|
|
## Ask Devii
|
|
|
|
You can change these settings in plain language through the Devii assistant:
|
|
|
|
> Turn off push notifications for upvotes.
|
|
|
|
> Stop notifying me about new followers entirely.
|
|
|
|
Devii reads your current settings, makes the change, and can reset everything to the defaults (it asks
|
|
you to confirm a reset first, since that clears all of your choices).
