Not seeing notifications that you know you should be receiving?

This guide will help you get your browser and desktop notifications up and running!

Make sure you're using the latest version of our desktop app!

Browser Notifications

Browser notifications are popups created by your web browser for specific notifications from ClickUp!

If you aren't seeing them, let's reset the browser notification preferences for app.clickup.com so you can re-enable notifications!

Reset Browser notifications preferences

1. Browser preferences vary depending on which browser you use. On Google Chrome, click the padlock icon in your browser address bar and click Reset permissions.
   

    

2. After changing your browser preferences, you'll see a banner in ClickUp asking if you want to enable Browser notifications. Let's hit Enable!
   
   

   

    

3. Select "Allow" when the prompt appears within your browser
