When should my site ask readers to allow notifications?

Where: Settings → Readers & money → Connections → Notifications

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/settings/connections/notifications (replace <your-site> with your site address)

Before you start

• Only the owner can change this.

Steps

1. Open Settings → Readers & money → Connections → Notifications.
2. Under When to ask readers to turn on alerts, find Website.
3. Choose one:
   • Immediately on the first visit (browser's own prompt)
   • After a few seconds: set Seconds on the page before asking.
   • After scrolling (recommended): set Scroll depth before asking.
   • Only when a reader taps the bell
4. Under App, choose On first launch or After a few stories read and set Stories read before asking.
5. Save.

Good to know

• Browsers may quieten or block sites that ask the moment a page opens. We suggest asking after scrolling.
