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. If you have not accepted push notifications, this is how you can activate them:

When enabling Email notifications on the Windows Desktop app, you receive an email when your prospect interacts at two seconds with the Share you created. We don't want to flood you with notification emails, so there is a maximum of one email per recipient, per hour.
If you share content with two or more recipients, you will receive two or more separate emails. If they interact with the Share again an hour later, we send out a new email notification.
In the email, you see who opened the Share, where the content was opened, and on what type of platform. Some information is not always available and depends on the privacy settings of your recipient.
Activating Email Notifications
- Navigate to the Share page and select the Emails & Links tab.
- Click the toggle for Email notifications to enable.
Note: Every five minutes our system checks if your Share was opened. If your prospect interacts at least two seconds with your content, you will receive the notification via email.
Stopping Email Notifications
There are 2 options to disable Email notifications.
- Navigate to the Share page and select the Emails & Links tab. Deactivate the Email notifications toggle.
- In the Share tab of the Web app, click the Share you'd like to stop receiving notifications for. Click the settings gear on the top right, then select Stop all notifications.
