Notifications
GameMinder keeps you informed about activity in your campaigns through an in-app notification inbox. You can also enable browser push notifications to receive alerts even when the app is not open.
The notification bell
The notification bell icon is in the top bar of the app. When you have unread notifications, a badge shows the unread count. Click the bell to open a dropdown preview of your most recent notifications.
To see all notifications, click View all in the dropdown, or navigate to Inbox in the sidebar.
Inbox
The Inbox page shows your full notification history. Unread notifications are highlighted and have a filled dot indicator on the left. Clicking a notification marks it as read and navigates you to the relevant page (for example, the session or survey it refers to).
To mark a single notification as read without navigating away, click the Mark read button on the right side of the notification row.
To mark all notifications as read at once, click Mark all read at the top of the inbox.
Notification types
| Type | When it is sent |
|---|---|
| Session created | A new session has been scheduled in one of your campaigns |
| Session rescheduled | An existing session's date or time has changed |
| Session started | The GM has started the session (it is now live) |
| Session completed | The session has ended |
| Survey available | A post-session survey is waiting for your response |
| Survey feedback | Your GM has revealed feedback on your survey response |
| Reminder due | A session reminder is due (sent before a scheduled session) |
Browser push notifications
GameMinder can send push notifications to your browser so you are alerted to new activity even when the app is not open.
To enable push notifications:
- Open any page in the app. Your browser may show a permission prompt automatically.
- If not, check your browser's site settings for
app.gameminder.ioand enable notifications from there. - Once permission is granted, notifications will appear as browser alerts for new inbox items.
Note
Push notifications are optional and can be revoked at any time in your browser settings. They require a browser and operating system that supports the Web Push standard.
