In-App Notification Stream
Sometimes, you may not have time to react to all notifications at once. Visit the Bell from any tab within the Nimble Web App to see a stream of all your most recent notifications.
How to Ensure Notifications are Properly Set in Chrome
You will need to double-check in your Google Chrome settings to make sure you will be able to allow desktop notifications.
Go to chrome://settings/content and under "Notifications" make sure that the option for "Ask when a site wants to allow notifications" is enabled.
Can I mute notifications?
Yes, you may certainly mute notifications. Notifications can be muted for 24 hours, 48 hours, or permanently.
The "Mute" option will appear for in-app notifications as well as Gmail and desktop notifications.
