Enable And Edit Browser Notifications
The Notification Settings page can be accessed from the dropdown menu displayed under your name at the top right corner.
There are three columns, one for each notification type: In-App (Browser), Email, and SMS. The email and phone number that will receive the notification are displayed. Use the toggles to enable or disable a notification type.
To receive Browser Notifications, click the Enable button in the In-App column.
The pop-up below will appear to confirm your decision.
Then, your browser will prompt you to allow notifications for Hera. Click Allow to start receiving push notifications from Hera.
Enable Mobile Browser Notifications
Android
To get notifications on Android devices, the Hera Icon must be added to the home screen. In this example, we will use the Chrome browser to install Hera as an app on your phone.
Start by navigating to Hera at go.hera.app, then click the three dots at the top right of the screen.
In the Menu, find the Add to Home screen option.
Then, select the Install option. Another pop-up will appear; please click Install to confirm. This is a shortcut to Hera that acts like an app. Hera cannot be found as an app in the App Store.
Now that Hera is installed, tap the App Icon to open Hera. If the App Icon is not on your homepage, it can be found in the app drawer.
Navigate to the Notification Settings page, click the Enable button found below In-App, and follow the prompts to enable Notifications.
Your device will receive notifications from Hera like any other app.
iOS
To receive notifications on iOS devices, the Hera icon must be added to the home screen. Click the share button at the top of the browser, then scroll down until you see Add to Home Screen, and tap it.
Then, click the Add button. The Hera Icon will be added to your home screen.
Now that the Hera icon is on the home screen, tap the App Icon to open Hera.
Navigate to the Notification Settings page, click the Enable button found below In-App, and follow the prompts to enable Notifications.
Your device will receive notifications from Hera like any other app.
Badges
App icons are small visual indicators that appear on an app icon to signify unread notifications. The Badge Counter column determines which notification types should be accounted for in the badge counter. A notification type will not be accounted for by the badge when the badge counter toggle is off.
Accurate badge counters are only supported by iOS devices. Android devices manage their own badge counters.
