Troubleshooting SI Push Notifications

If you opted in to receive push notifications from SI but have not been getting them, follow these four steps to make sure your device allows you to receive them.

1. Check Browser Settings

It’s common that the reason you are unable to receive notifications is because your browser settings have changed and you’re no longer opted in. Depending on the browser you’re using, go into the settings and ensure that your notifications are set to “Allow.”

2. Check Machine Settings

On your Mac device, go to System Preferences > Notifications

On the Notifications tab, scroll down the list until you see the web browser you are opted in for.

On that browser, ensure that the “Allow Notifications” toggle is enabled and the Banners style is selected.
*Note: If you use Google Chrome, sometimes there are two Google Chromes listed, like shown below. Make sure both have 'Allow Notifications' enabled.

(Your Notifications Settings page will look like one of the images below. It will depend on what version of macOS you use.)
