In-App Notifications
In-app notifications are always on and cannot be disabled. The bell icon in the navigation bar shows your unread count. Tap it to view your full notification history. Notification types delivered in-app include:- Roll Call prompts: sent before an event to confirm you’re still attending
- Event reminders: a nudge 24 hours before an event you’re attending
- RSVP activity: a rollup of who’s RSVP’d to an event you’re hosting, rather than one alert per person
- Waitlist confirmations: when you join the waitlist for a full event
- Group announcements: messages from group organizers
- Event cancellations: when an event you’ve RSVP’d to is cancelled
- Kudos received: when another player sends you kudos
- Kudos requests: when a host you played with asks you to give kudos to the table
- Organizer handovers: when a group’s organizer role transfers to you
- Leadership openings filled: when an open leadership role in your group is taken
- Friend requests: when someone adds you as a friend
- Game alerts: when a favorited game appears in an upcoming event
Several of these arrive by email as well as the bell: event reminders, waitlist confirmations, kudos requests, RSVP activity, organizer handovers, and leadership updates all land in both places. You can tune the email side in Settings → Notifications; the bell itself is always on.
