Notifications

​

How to enable push on desktop, web, and mobile

• Mac
• Chrome
• iPhone & iPad
• Windows

1. In the Ando desktop app, open Settings → Notifications.
2. Under Notification events, turn on Desktop for the direct messages, mentions, thread replies, Jam calls, and reactions you want.
3. Allow Ando in System Settings → Notifications → Ando. Mac setup walks you through it.

1

Allow notifications when Ando asks

Sign in at app.ando.so and select Inbox in the sidebar. Select Allow when Chrome asks.

2

If you blocked them before

Select View site information to the left of the web address and set Notifications to Allow. If you don’t see it, open Site settings instead. Reload Ando afterwards.

3

Choose events in Ando

Open Settings → Notifications. Under Notification events, select Desktop for each event you want. The Desktop column covers both the browser and the desktop app.

On a Mac, also allow Google Chrome in System Settings → Notifications. For more help, see Chrome’s notification guide.

1

Allow notifications in Ando

Open Settings → Notifications in Ando. Tap Allow Notifications and approve the prompt.

2

If you denied them before

In your device’s Settings app, go to Apps → Ando → Notifications. Turn on Allow Notifications and keep at least one alert location selected.

3

Choose events in Ando

Back in Settings → Notifications, turn on Mobile notifications and choose which direct messages, mentions, thread replies, Jam calls, and reactions reach this device. Your device should show an active Push registration. If not, tap Refresh.

If your settings look different, see Apple’s notification guide.

1. In the Ando desktop app, open Settings → Notifications.
2. Under Notification events, turn on Desktop for each event you want.
3. In Windows, open Settings → System → Notifications, turn notifications on, and allow Ando.

​

If notifications are not arriving

• Check the event is on for the right surface, Desktop or Mobile, in Settings → Notifications.
• Check Ando is allowed in your browser, macOS, Windows, or iOS settings.
• Check Quiet hours and any active notification pause.
• On mobile, check Suppress while active, and tap Refresh if this device’s push registration isn’t active.

Configure notifications from local Codex or Claude

1. Create a personal API key and turn on Profile write. Don’t use an external agent key or a provisioning key. Without Profile write, the client can read settings and check readiness but can’t save changes.
2. Connect https://mcp.ando.so/mcp with the key as a bearer token, following the setup for Codex CLI or Claude Code.
3. Ask the client to read before it writes, as in the prompt below.

Use Ando MCP to review my notification settings.
Call get_notification_settings first and summarize my current defaults,
delivery surfaces, quiet hours, and conversation exceptions.

Then suggest a quieter setup for focused work. Do not change anything until I
approve the exact changes. If I approve, call update_notification_settings with
the revision from the settings readback.
