Our notifications are divided into four categories:
- New post notifications. Automated visual indications whenever new content is posted in spaces (Superdeals, airline promos, etc.).
- In-app notifications. New post alerts plus system notifications and messages.
- Push notifications. Push notifications for new posts—available in Android and iOS mobile apps, as well as in Progressive Web App (PWA).
- Email Notifications. Short email messages about newly published posts.
Desktop notifications
Desktop activity notifications keep you informed about new posts in spaces. In the left sidebar, you get automated visual indications on space whenever you have unread posts:
In the top right corner, there’s a section for in-app notifications—which we typically use to send system messages and, occasionally, messages from the platform admin:
💡 For Superdeals, we recommend enabling notifications for at least one location-based space (such as From US & Canada) and the Within Asia space. This ensures you receive instant alerts for flight deals from your region and helps you discover local deals if you’re planning to travel around Asia.
Mobile app notifications
On mobile apps, we show notifications in three different ways:
- Activity notifications. When there are unread posts in the space, a numbered badge (representing the number of unread messages) will appear on the Spaces tab.
- In-app notifications. When new posts or messages are awaiting your attention, the Notifications🔔 icon (located at the bottom of the screen) displays a badge with a numbered count.
- Push notifications. Sent directly to your mobile device, providing you with real-time updates about new posts. You’ll receive timely information even when you’re not actively using the app.
Managing notifications
You’re in full control of your experience. You can set the notification preferences directly from the space:
… or you can manage notifications for all spaces from your Account settings page:
- Click on your profile picture in the upper corner.
- Select Notifications🔔 to open your notification settings.
- Tailor your notifications to receive updates only from the areas that interest you most. As ATC does not have community features yet, you can focus on New posts section.
- Click Save changes.
You can apply the same notification preference to all spaces by selecting the checkbox for the corresponding column next to Apply to all spaces.
You can opt out of all notifications by clicking Turn off all notifications.
ℹ️ Mobile notifications will only appear in the settings if you have downloaded and logged into the mobile app.
Here’s how to manage notifications from your mobile app:
- Tap Notifications🔔 on the control bar.
- In the upper-left corner, tap Settings⚙️ and then tap Push notifications or In-app notifications.
- Tap the toggle next to the option to enable or disable notification for each option.
