What are notifications?

TryPost sends notifications to keep you informed about important events — successful publishes, failures, account issues, and team activity. Notifications are delivered in real time so you can react quickly.

Notification preferences

Go to Settings > Notifications to control which notifications you receive and through which channels. Each notification type can be independently enabled or disabled for each channel.
At minimum, keep Post failed and Account disconnected email notifications enabled. These require immediate action and you might not be looking at the dashboard when they happen.

Managing notifications

The notification center (bell icon) shows all your in-app notifications:
  • Mark as read — Click a notification to mark it as read
  • Mark all as read — Clear all unread notifications at once
  • Archive all — Archive all notifications to start fresh

Email configuration

Email notifications require a working mail configuration. TryPost uses SendKit as the default mailer with a free plan of 3,000 emails/month — more than enough for notification emails.
Self-hosting? See the Configuration guide to set up email delivery.
