Receiving Notifications
Subscribe to push notifications on your phone, tablet, or desktop
How notification delivery works
When your AI agent sends a notification via Pushary, it goes to every subscribed device. You can subscribe on your phone, tablet, and desktop — you'll receive the notification on all of them.
Subscribing means visiting your personal Pushary channel URL and allowing notifications in your browser. No app install required.
Your channel URL
Your channel URL follows this pattern:
https://your-handle.pushary.comReplace your-handle with the handle you chose during onboarding. You can find it in your Dashboard → Settings.
Subscribe on your devices
iPhone requires adding the page to your Home Screen before push notifications work. This is an iOS requirement — not a Pushary limitation.
Open your channel URL
Open https://your-handle.pushary.com in Safari on your iPhone.
Add to Home Screen
Tap the Share button (square with arrow) → scroll down → tap Add to Home Screen → tap Add.
This creates an app icon on your home screen.
Open from Home Screen
Tap the Pushary icon on your home screen. The page opens in a standalone view (no Safari URL bar).
Allow notifications
A banner or prompt will ask to enable notifications. Tap Allow.
If you don't see a prompt, check Settings → Notifications on your iPhone and make sure the Pushary app (listed under your handle) has notifications enabled.
You're subscribed. Your phone will buzz when your agent sends a notification.
Open your channel URL
Open https://your-handle.pushary.com in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox on your Android phone.
Allow notifications
Your browser will show a notification permission prompt. Tap Allow.
You're subscribed. That's it — Android is straightforward.
Optionally, you can also add the page to your home screen (Chrome menu → Add to Home screen) for a more app-like experience.
Open your channel URL
Open https://your-handle.pushary.com in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or any Chromium-based browser.
Allow notifications
Your browser will ask for notification permission. Click Allow.
On macOS, you may also need to enable notifications for your browser in System Settings → Notifications.
You're subscribed. Desktop notifications appear in your system notification center.
Safari on macOS does support web push, but requires the page to be added to the Dock (similar to iPhone). Chrome or Edge is recommended for the simplest experience.
Quick setup during onboarding
If you're setting up Pushary for the first time, the onboarding flow (Step 4) shows a QR code. Scan it with your phone's camera — it opens your channel URL directly. From there, follow the iPhone or Android steps above.
If you're on desktop during onboarding, you can click Enable Notifications to subscribe on the device you're already using.
Multiple devices
You can subscribe on as many devices as you want. Notifications are sent to all subscribed devices simultaneously. Common setup:
- Phone — for when you're away from your computer
- Desktop — for when you're at your computer but in a different app
Verifying it works
After subscribing, go back to your AI agent and ask it to send a test:
Send me a test notification via PusharyYou should receive the notification within 2 seconds on every subscribed device.
Unsubscribing
To stop receiving notifications on a device:
- Open your channel URL on that device
- The page will show an Unsubscribe option
- Click/tap it to remove that device
Alternatively, you can revoke notification permissions in your browser or device settings.
Troubleshooting
Notifications not arriving on iPhone
- Make sure you opened the page from the Home Screen icon, not from Safari
- Check Settings → Notifications and find the entry for your handle — make sure it's enabled
- Try removing the Home Screen icon and re-adding it
Notifications not arriving on Android
- Check the browser's site settings for your channel URL — notifications should be set to Allow
- Make sure your browser is not in "Do Not Disturb" or battery optimization mode that blocks background activity
Notifications not arriving on desktop
- Check that your browser has notification permission for your channel URL
- On macOS: System Settings → Notifications → find your browser → make sure "Allow Notifications" is on
- On Windows: Settings → System → Notifications → find your browser → make sure it's enabled
Notifications are delayed
Pushary delivers notifications within 1-2 seconds. If you're seeing delays:
- Check your internet connection on the receiving device
- On mobile, make sure the device isn't in a low-power mode that throttles background processes
- iOS occasionally batches notifications — reopening the Home Screen app can trigger delivery
