What are notifications?
TryPost sends notifications to keep you informed about important events — successful publishes, failures, account issues, and team activity. Notifications are delivered in real time so you can react quickly.Notification types
Publishing
| Type | When it’s sent | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Post published | A post was published to all enabled platforms successfully | Which platforms were published with links to the live posts |
| Post failed | A post failed on one or more platforms (covers both full failures and partial publishes) | Which platforms failed and the error messages |
AI
| Type | When it’s sent | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Post ready | The AI Create flow finished generating a post (text + images) in the background | A link to the new draft so you can review and schedule it |
Accounts
| Type | When it’s sent | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Account disconnected | A social account lost its authorization | Which account and platform need reconnection |
Team
| Type | When it’s sent | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Invite received | You were invited to join a workspace | Who invited you and which workspace |
| Member joined | Someone accepted an invite to your workspace | Who joined and their role |
| Member removed | A member was removed from your workspace | Who was removed |
| Mentioned in comment | A teammate @-mentioned you in a post comment | The post, the commenter, and a snippet of the comment |
Notification channels
| Channel | Description |
|---|---|
| In-app | Bell icon in the top nav. Delivered in real time via Reverb (WebSockets) — no refresh needed |
| Sent to the address on your TryPost account, via the configured mailer (SendKit by default) |
mentioned_in_comment— if you’re online, only the in-app toast fires; if you’re offline, you get both.post_ready— in-app only. The AI Create flow is short enough that a banner inside the app is all you need.
Notification preferences
Go to Settings > Notifications to toggle which notifications you receive. Each toggle controls email for that notification type — in-app notifications are always created so you can catch up later from the bell. Today the page exposes three toggles:| Toggle | Controls email for |
|---|---|
| Post published | post_published |
| Post failed | post_failed (covers both full failures and partial publishes) |
| Account disconnected | account_disconnected |
mentioned_in_comment, invite_received, member_joined, member_removed, and post_ready use sensible defaults today and aren’t user-configurable yet.
Managing notifications
The notification center (bell icon) shows all your in-app notifications:- Mark as read — Click a notification to mark it as read
- Mark all as read — Clear all unread notifications at once
- Archive all — Archive all notifications to start fresh
Email configuration
Email notifications require a working mail configuration. TryPost uses SendKit as the default mailer with a free plan of 3,000 emails/month — more than enough for notification emails.Self-hosting? See the Configuration guide to set up email delivery.
