Enable notifications
Updated on 09.07.2026
Enable push notifications to be informed immediately when something happens with your ideas — for example a new comment, a new vote or a status change. It works right in the browser, even when the page isn't open.

Open notifications
Go to My Area → Notifications. There you manage all settings for email and push messages.
Enable push & allow it
Turn on „Push notifications“. Your browser asks once for permission — confirm with „Allow“. Then choose what you want to be informed about.
What you'll be informed about
- New comments on your ideas
- Replies to your comments
- New votes for your ideas
- Status changes and implementations
- Approvals and new ideas in your subscribed categories
FAQ
I accidentally denied permission
Open your browser's site settings (usually via the padlock icon left of the address) and set notifications to „Allow“. Then toggle the switch on again.
I'm not getting any notifications
Check that push is turned on under „Notifications“, that the individual events are enabled and that your browser allows notifications for the site. On iPhone, the app must have been added to the home screen first.
How do I turn notifications off again?
Just turn „Push notifications“ off again under My Area → Notifications. Alternatively, you can block them in your browser's site settings.
