Enable desktop notifications

In-app notifications only reach you when Vouch is the tab you're looking at. Desktop notifications break out of the browser tab, so a new candidate or a tagged comment surfaces even when you're heads-down in another app — useful for time-sensitive replies.

The first time you open the Notification Center, Vouch may prompt: "Enable desktop notifications to stay updated in real time."

• Choose Enable notifications — your browser asks for permission. Once granted, Vouch sends a test notification: "You'll get notified when new activity arrives."
• Choose Not now — the prompt is dismissed for this session.

If your browser blocks the request, a toast appears: "Desktop notifications blocked — you can re-enable notifications from your browser site settings."

Good to know. Desktop notifications are a delivery layer on top of your in-app settings — they don't add new events. You still decide which events fire under Notification types: what triggers what; desktop permission just lets the ones you've turned on pop outside the tab. They also respect your working hours — held outside them, delivered when they resume.

Troubleshooting

Missed the prompt, or clicked "Not now"? The permission lives in your browser, not in Vouch, so there's no in-app button to undo it. Re-enable notifications for the site from your browser's site settings (usually the padlock/site-info icon in the address bar), then reload.

Granted permission but nothing pops? Check that the relevant event is switched on for the In-app channel in settings, and that you're inside your notification hours — events outside your working hours are held, not popped.
