Phone notifications reach you the moment a guest leaves a note, places an order or replies — the instant version of the alert emails, with no app store involved.
Turn it on
- Open Settings, then Notifications, and find Phone notifications.
- Select Enable on this device.
- Your browser asks permission. Allow it.
- It then reads On for this device, with Send test and Turn off beside it.
Send test pushes a notification to that device straight away, which is the quickest way to prove it works.
On iPhone and iPad
Apple only allows this from an installed app. Open the dashboard in Safari, use Share, then Add to Home Screen, open the dashboard from that new icon, and enable it there. The pane tells you this itself when it sees an iPhone.
It is per device
Each phone, tablet and computer is enabled separately, and Turn off only turns off the device you are using.
What the other messages mean
- Notifications are blocked for this site — you or the browser refused permission earlier. Allow notifications for QuietStay in your browser settings, then try again.
- This browser doesn't support push notifications — try a different browser, or use the email alerts instead.
- Not switched on for this site yet (push keys pending) — the feature is not available on your site yet. Nothing you can do at your end.
What they say
The same events as the email alerts, and the same switches control them: turning off an alert in the panel above also stops its phone notification. See Which emails does QuietStay send me, and who else on my team gets them?.
If nothing arrives
Send a test first. If the test does not appear, check your phone's own notification settings for the browser or the installed dashboard, then reply to any email from QuietStay and it reaches a person.
