Notifications

Notifications are the best way to be in the loop with your campaigns. You can rest easy when event counters reach expected levels or you can simply celebrate when you get your first conversion.

Notifications are available in both Voluum applications: web and mobile. You can select which notifications you want to see from the predefined list of system notifications.

Desktop and Mobile Notifications

Notifications come in the form of a standard push notification that is displayed in your web browser or Voluum mobile application.

Push notifications synchronize with each other across the web and mobile platforms. This means that the same notification can be viewed on both platforms, viewing it on one platform marks it as read in the other platform.

The following article describes how notifications look and work in the Voluum web application. To learn about how notifications look in the Voluum mobile application, read the Voluum Mobile App: Notifications article.Voluum Mobile App: Notifications

  • Payment failed: You will be notified when your automatic payment for the new billing month fails.

  • Payment success: You will be notified when your payment has been received only if your earlier payment has failed.

You can disable notification about any of those events by switching the toggle off.
