Notifications#

The app can notify you — with the app closed and the phone locked — of what your console notifications tell you: an agent waiting for your approval, a repair on a machine, a machine down, your run that failed, an invitation.

Turn them on#

  1. Install the app (or keep it open in Chrome).
  2. Settings → Notifications → This device: turn it on, and choose Allow when the phone asks.
  1. On iOS or iPadOS 16.4 or later, add the app to your home screen: Safari does not deliver notifications to a page in a tab.
  2. Open Astralyx from the home screen.
  3. Settings → Notifications → This device: turn it on, and choose Allow.

Until the app is opened from the home screen, Settings shows these steps instead of the switch.

Open console.astralyx.cloud/app in Chrome, Edge or Firefox (or install it), then Settings → Notifications → This device.

Send a test notification checks that it arrives. Each phone or browser is a device of its own, listed under This device; remove one with its bin button (or turn the switch off on that device). You may have 20; past that, the oldest goes. A device the push service says is gone (the app removed, the permission withdrawn) is removed by itself; one that keeps failing says why.

What is pushed#

Turn each kind on or off under What is pushed:

Kind Pushed unless you turn it off
Agents waiting for your approval Yes
Repairs waiting for approval, machines waiting for replacement Yes
Your AI assistants asking to confirm Yes
Invitations Yes
Machines down Yes
Incidents on machines Yes
Your runs that failed Yes
Deployments shared with you No
Environments you were added to No
E-mails not delivered No

Who is told of what is as in the console (machines and repairs: the organisation's owners and admins; approvals: the people who may decide; runs: who submitted them) — see Notifications. A notification is pushed once, within an hour of happening; what happened before a device was turned on is not sent to it.

Quiet hours#

Turn on Quiet hours and choose From and To (22:00 to 07:00 by default; a range that crosses midnight is fine). In those hours nothing is pushed; the inbox, the console and the e-mails you chose still have it. They follow your phone's time zone when you set them.

What a notification says#

Its title and a line of it, and where it leads in the app. The message is encrypted for your device: the push service that carries it (Google's, Apple's, Mozilla's, Microsoft's) cannot read it. Tapping it opens the item — in the inbox for a decision, under Alerts for a machine or an incident. A decision that is not dangerous can be approved from the notification itself; see From a notification.

Troubleshooting#

You see What to do
Add the app to your home screen first iPhone and iPad: notifications reach only the app opened from the home screen (above).
Notifications need iOS 16.4 or later Update the device.
Notifications are blocked for this site Allow them in the browser's or the phone's settings for the console's address, then turn the switch on again.
This browser cannot get notifications Use Chrome, Safari (home screen), Edge or Firefox.
The test arrives, real ones do not Check What is pushed and Quiet hours, and that you are one of the people told of that kind.
