Notifications & Alerts
Understand the notification surfaces and preference controls currently confirmed across shared Stareceipt clients.
Last updated: 2026-06-02
Notification surfaces
Current shared code confirms these notification surfaces:
| Surface | Notes |
|---|---|
| Mobile notification preferences | Mobile settings expose user-controlled notification toggles |
| Web notification settings section | Web settings include a notifications section |
| Notification service / inbox APIs | Shared 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)
- Open the Stareceipt mobile app.
- Go to Settings → Notifications.
- Toggle on the alert types your build exposes.
- If the app prompts for permission, tap Allow.
If your device has previously denied permission, you need to enable it manually:
- iOS: Device Settings → Stareceipt → Notifications → turn on Allow Notifications.
- Android: Device Settings → Apps → Stareceipt → Notifications → 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.
