Shortcut supports browser notifications in Google Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. If you have notifications enabled in these browsers, any time your Shortcut user name is mentioned in a Story comment or Epic discussion, you will receive a browser notification.

Enabling Browser Notifications 

Enabling notifications can be done in the Settings section of the respective browsers:

  • Chrome:
    • Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > Notifications > Choose a notification option and add https://app.shortcut.com to the "Allowed to send notifications" list.
  • Firefox:
    • Click the padlock icon in the address bar > Click the arrow in the Site Information drop-down panel > Click More information in the next panel to bring up the Page Info window > Click the Permissions tab > Under Send Notifications, choose the notification option: "Allow". If your choices are grayed out, deselect the Use Default checkbox, then select "Allow".
  • Safari (controlled via system settings):
    • Preferences > Notifications > Select "Allow" next to app.shortcut.com

Clicking Browser Notifications

When you receive a browser notification from Shortcut, clicking it will take you to the Story or Epic comment where you were mentioned in a new tab of your web browser.

If you do not wish to click on your notification, the notification will dismiss itself in a few seconds if you are using Safari or Firefox. In Chrome, the notification can be dismissed by clicking the "x" in the upper right-hand corner of the notification.
