Notifications

The bell icon, push notifications, and how to control what gets through.

Nexus ERP shows notifications inside the app and (optionally) sends them to your browser as push notifications or to your phone as WhatsApp messages.

The bell icon

In the top-right of the sidebar header, the bell icon shows a red badge with your unread count. Click it to open /notifications.

The notifications page lists everything in reverse chronological order:

  • Title and body for context.
  • The org it came from (with the org logo).
  • A relative timestamp ("2 hours ago").
  • An icon that hints at the type (invite, task assigned, submission, approval, revision request).

Each notification has a View button that jumps to the related resource, and a Mark as read action. The header has a Mark all read button when you have unread notifications.

Org invites

Notifications of type Org invite don't have a generic View button. Instead they show Accept and Decline inline. Accepting auto-routes you into the new org's workspace.

Push notifications

To receive push notifications in your browser:

  1. Visit any page in Nexus ERP. The first time, your browser pops up a permission prompt.
  2. Click Allow.
  3. The app registers a service worker and subscribes your device.

After that you'll get system-level notifications even when the tab isn't focused. Notifications are end-to-end encrypted with VAPID keys, no third-party server holds plaintext.

To turn push off:

  • For all events: revoke notification permission in your browser settings (it varies by browser).
  • For specific events: open Profile, Notification Channels and untick the Push column for those events.

WhatsApp notifications

If your org has the WhatsApp feature enabled and you've verified a number, you can route specific events to WhatsApp instead of (or in addition to) push. Set it up at Profile, WhatsApp.

Background polling

Even without push enabled, the bell badge updates every 30 seconds while a Nexus tab is open.

Permissions

Notifications are entirely self-service, no permissions required.
