Notifications: what PalmFlow tells you, and where
Choose what PalmFlow tells you about — sales, deliveries, stalled items, low stock — and whether it arrives in the app, by email, or as a push to your phone.
PalmFlow can tell you when something happens — an item sells, a parcel is delivered, stock runs low, a listing stalls — through three channels you control independently.
Settings for all of it live under Settings → Notifications.
The three channels
- In-app — the bell in the header. Always on, always the complete record.
- Email — off by default and strictly opt-in. Nothing is emailed to you because we decided it was important.
- Web push — a real notification on your phone or desktop, even with PalmFlow closed. Push is part of the paid plans.
Each type of event can use any combination of the three, so sales can buzz your phone while housekeeping stays quietly in the bell.
What it can tell you about
Events are grouped so you can switch a whole category on or off without picking through it:
- Sales and orders — an item sold, an order paid, delivered, or hitting a delivery exception.
- Inventory — low stock, an item stalling past its SLA, price-change activity.
- Integrations — a marketplace connected or disconnected, a sync failing, new eBay feedback.
- Account and team — invitations, role changes, plan and billing events.
Quiet hours
Set a window and push notifications hold until it ends. Worth setting: a marketplace sale at 3am is a notification you don't need, and one 3am buzz is usually enough to make someone switch push off entirely.
In-app notifications ignore quiet hours — they're not interrupting anything.
Push on a phone
Web push works on Android and desktop browsers straightforwardly. On iPhone, you must add PalmFlow to your Home Screen first — iOS only delivers web push to installed web apps, so nothing will arrive in an ordinary Safari tab. Open PalmFlow in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, and open it from there.
A few privacy-hardened browsers strip the push service entirely — LibreWolf, Tor Browser, and some de-Googled Chromium builds among them. Push cannot work there; email or the in-app bell will.
Common questions
Can PalmFlow notify me when an item sells?
Yes. Sale notifications can arrive in the app, by email, or as a web push to your phone or desktop. Push notifications are part of the paid plans.
Do PalmFlow push notifications work on iPhone?
Yes, once you add PalmFlow to your iPhone's Home Screen. iOS only delivers web push to installed web apps, so notifications will not arrive in a normal Safari tab.
