Push Notification Settings
Overview
Push Notification Settings – Business Overview
Push Notification Settings is used in Dafater to enable real-time mobile and web notifications for users. It allows the organization to send instant alerts and updates to employees, managers, or customers directly on their devices, helping ensure timely awareness and faster action.
In simple terms, this document controls whether Dafater can send push notifications such as approvals, reminders, status updates, or important alerts.
Purpose in Business Operations
Push Notification Settings supports proactive communication by: - Keeping users informed without requiring them to log in repeatedly - Reducing delays in approvals and responses - Improving engagement with mobile and remote users - Ensuring critical updates are not missed
It acts as the foundation for all push-based alerts generated by Dafater.
Prerequisites and Setup Requirements
Before using Push Notification Settings, the following should be in place: - Dafater is actively used by employees or users through web or mobile access - Users are expected to receive real-time alerts (for example, approvals or task updates) - Management has decided which types of business notifications should be sent instantly
Once enabled, the system registers itself with a trusted central relay service that only handles notification delivery information. No business messages or confidential content are stored externally.
Typical Workflow and Business Usage
- An administrator reviews the organization’s communication needs
- Push Notification Settings is enabled in Dafater
- Users allow notifications on their devices
- Dafater automatically sends alerts when business events occur, such as:
- A document requires approval
- A task is assigned or updated
- A process reaches a critical stage
This runs continuously in the background and supports daily operations without manual effort.
Key Business Scenarios Where It Is Essential
- Approval-driven processes: Managers receive instant alerts for pending approvals, reducing turnaround time
- Operational alerts: Teams are notified immediately about status changes or urgent actions
- Mobile workforce management: Field staff stay connected without checking the system constantly
- User engagement: Improves responsiveness and accountability across departments
Important Considerations for Users
- Notifications should be purposeful; too many alerts may reduce effectiveness
- Users must allow notifications on their devices to benefit from this feature
- This setting enables delivery only—content and rules for notifications are managed elsewhere in Dafater
- The relay service used only stores device tokens and error logs, ensuring privacy and data protection
In summary, Push Notification Settings is a key enabler for real-time communication in Dafater, helping businesses stay responsive, efficient, and connected across teams and devices.
Enabling this will register your site on a central relay server to send push notifications for all installed apps through Firebase Cloud Messaging. This server only stores user tokens and error logs, and no messages are saved.
