Allow notifications from Showpad Updated September 22, 2023 10:45 You need to allow notifications for the Showpad platform to be able to receive notifications from the Showpad Administrator, either as a push notification or via email. The first time you start the application, you will be asked whether you want to allow this or not.If you do not allow this, you will need to actively keep an eye on the announcements section on the app by logging in regularly. Notifications for announcements can come from your admin at any time they want to inform you of something. You may also be notified of new content additions, and activity on content you've shared.
