# Push Notifications

> Learn how BeatPass push notifications, permissions, and browser warnings work.

BeatPass push notifications use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and your browser's push support. They are a separate channel from email and in-app notifications.

***

## Requirements

Push notifications need:

* a supported browser with push notification support
* permission granted for BeatPass notifications
* the **Push** channel enabled in notification settings

***

## Enabling Push Notifications

1. Open **Notification Preferences** from the gear icon in the bell menu
2. Turn on **Push** for one or more notification types
3. Approve the browser permission prompt if it appears

Changes are saved automatically — there is no separate save button.

If permission is already denied, BeatPass shows a warning banner in the settings page.

***

## Important Behavior

* Push notifications are independent from **Email** and **In-App**
* Supported browsers can continue showing push notifications even when BeatPass is not the active tab
* Exact background delivery behavior still depends on the browser and operating system

***

## If Notifications Are Blocked

If you previously denied permission:

1. Open your browser's site settings for BeatPass
2. Change notifications from **Block** to **Allow**
3. Return to **Notification Preferences**
4. Re-enable the **Push** toggles you want
