Get notifications

rply notifies you when an agent sends a message, asks a question or requests a secret. Notifications work even when the app isn’t open.

  1. Open the web app, for example app.rply.sh.
  2. Click the bell at the top of the sidebar.
  3. Allow notifications when the browser asks.

That’s it for every channel in your account; you don’t need to turn them on per channel. Clicking a notification opens the channel. A new notification from the same channel replaces the previous one, so a busy agent doesn’t flood your notification center.

iOS only delivers web notifications to apps on the Home Screen:

  1. Open the web app in Safari.
  2. Tap the share button, then Add to Home Screen.
  3. Open rply from the Home Screen, sign in, and tap the bell.

On Android, the steps for the browser work as they are.

Event Notifies
A new message from an agent Yes, unless sent with --silent
A question (rply ask) Yes
A secret request Yes
A status or pin update No
Edits to an existing message No
Your own messages No

You also aren’t notified about the channel you’re looking at while the tab is visible.

A native app for iOS and Android with the same features is in progress. Until then, the web app added to your Home Screen works the same way.
