Enable Push Notifications in App

Stay connected and never miss an important document update by enabling push notifications in the signNow mobile app. Push notifications ensure you receive real-time alerts when your documents are signed, when you’re invited to sign, or when there are changes requiring your attention. This guide will walk you through the benefits, setup process, and management of push notifications on both iOS and Android devices, so you can streamline your workflow and stay informed wherever you are.

Benefits of Enabling Push Notifications

Enabling push notifications in the signNow app offers significant advantages for busy professionals and teams. With notifications turned on, you’ll receive instant alerts for key events such as document signatures, invitations to sign, and status changes. This means you can act quickly, reduce turnaround times, and keep your business processes moving smoothly. Push notifications also help you stay organized by providing timely reminders, reducing the risk of missing critical deadlines or approvals. Whether you’re managing contracts, onboarding documents, or approvals, real-time updates keep you in control and responsive.

Understanding Push Notification Types in signNow

The signNow app categorizes push notifications to help you tailor your experience. You can receive general alerts for all document activity, as well as specific notifications for events like field invites and team invites. This granularity allows you to prioritize which updates are most relevant to your role or workflow. For example, if you’re part of a team, enabling team invite notifications ensures you’re immediately aware when collaboration is needed. If you’re managing multiple documents, general notifications keep you updated on every signature and status change. Customizing these options ensures you only receive the alerts that matter most to you.

Privacy and Security of Push Notifications

Your privacy and security are top priorities for signNow. Push notifications are designed to provide timely updates without exposing sensitive document content in the notification preview.

All communication between the signNow app and its servers is encrypted, ensuring your data remains secure. You can further control your privacy by adjusting notification settings to limit what appears on your lock screen or by disabling previews altogether in your device’s system settings. This way, you stay informed while maintaining full control over your information.
