# Push notifications

> Set up push notifications to stay updated on your schedule.

Push notifications keep you informed about important events in your CalGest workspace — new bookings, appointment changes, reminders, and more.

## Enabling push notifications

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open notification settings">
    Go to **Settings > Device notifications** in the mobile app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Grant permission">
    When prompted, allow CalGest to send notifications. This is required for push notifications to work.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what to receive">
    Toggle which notification types you want to receive on your device.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  You can also manage notification permissions in your phone's system settings under **CalGest > Notifications**.

## Notification types

| Event                     | Description                                                   |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **New appointment**       | Someone booked an appointment (via booking page or colleague) |
| **Appointment changed**   | An appointment was rescheduled or modified                    |
| **Appointment cancelled** | An appointment was cancelled                                  |
| **Reminder**              | Upcoming appointment reminder (based on your settings)        |
| **Customer update**       | A customer profile was updated                                |

## Customizing notifications

You can control notifications at two levels:

1. **Organization level** — in **Settings > Notifications** on the dashboard, choose which events trigger notifications
2. **Device level** — in the mobile app's settings, choose which notifications appear on your phone

<Tip>
  If you're not receiving notifications, check that:

  * Notifications are enabled in your phone's system settings
  * You're signed in to the correct organization
  * The notification type is enabled in both dashboard and app settings
</Tip>

## Notification sounds and badges

The CalGest app uses your phone's default notification sound. The app icon shows a badge count for unread notifications.

To customize sounds or badges, go to your phone's system settings:

* **iOS**: Settings > CalGest > Notifications
* **Android**: Settings > Apps > CalGest > Notifications
