Push notifications
How council gets approval vote alerts on the installed mobile app.
What it is
Council members can receive web push notifications for card approval votes when the mobile app is installed and push is allowed.
What you can do
- Turn push on when the installed app asks: it shows a Turn on notifications screen. Tap Turn on notifications, then Allow when your phone asks. Not now hides the screen on that phone.
- Turn push on or off in
/m/settings - Tap a notification to open the relevant maintenance card
- Rely on the app badge for pending votes where supported
Admins (president, VP, delegated PM) still control which roles are eligible for push in Settings → Notifications on desktop.
Who can do it
Council. Residents do not get approval-vote push, and the installed app doesn't ask them about notifications. Pleno staff viewing your strata in a support session aren't asked either.
Limits and things to know
- iPhone requires Add to Home Screen from Safari.
- Pleno asks about notifications only in the installed app, never in a browser tab (on Android too).
- If notifications for Pleno are blocked in your phone's Settings, Pleno doesn't ask. Allow them there, then turn push on in
/m/settings. If you block them when your phone asks, the screen says so and offers only Not now. - Push is for operational approval events — not every email type has a push twin.
- If push is off for your user, you may still receive email depending on strata routing.
