Notification surfaces

Current shared code confirms these notification surfaces:

SurfaceNotes
Mobile notification preferencesMobile settings expose user-controlled notification toggles
Web notification settings sectionWeb settings include a notifications section
Notification service / inbox APIsShared backend code exposes notification delivery and inbox endpoints

Available alert types

Mobile preference toggles currently confirmed

The shared mobile settings page currently exposes these toggleable notification categories:

| Alert type | Description | |---|---|---| | Recognition task | Recognition completion / review-related task updates | | Export task | Export completion or failure updates | | Data sync | Sync-related updates | | System announcement | Product or system-wide announcements |

Additional alert types can exist in specific deployments, but they should not be assumed universally unless the current client exposes them.

Configuring push notifications (mobile)

  1. Open the Stareceipt mobile app.
  2. Go to SettingsNotifications.
  3. Toggle on the alert types your build exposes.
  4. If the app prompts for permission, tap Allow.

If your device has previously denied permission, you need to enable it manually:

  • iOS: Device SettingsStareceiptNotifications → turn on Allow Notifications.
  • Android: Device SettingsAppsStareceiptNotifications → enable.

Web settings

Shared Web builds include a notifications section in Settings. The exact preference model exposed there can differ by deployment and current frontend rollout.

Unsubscribing

Use the current client's notification settings to turn supported alert types on or off. Device-level permission settings still take precedence for mobile push delivery.

Tips

  • Enable recognition-task and export-task alerts first; these are the most clearly implemented shared categories today.
  • If a setting is mentioned in documentation but not visible in your current build, trust the client UI over older screenshots or rollout notes.
