Create something worth alerting you about
Finish the first search, check its summary and save it. Flipinator can then explain that new matches may trigger alerts on this device. Choosing “Turn on alerts on this device” opens the browser or operating-system permission prompt. There is no delivery menu inside the search itself.
If you decline, the search still runs and matches still appear in Feed. The permission controls interruption on that particular browser, phone or tablet; it does not delete the account or search.
Treat each device separately
Allowing alerts on a laptop does not automatically allow them on a phone. Sign in on the device, open Settings and enable alerts there when useful. Native mobile apps use the operating system’s notification settings, while the web app uses browser push support.
A work computer may not be the right place for personal listing alerts. A tablet used only at home may need quieter operating-system settings. Flipinator registers the device after permission, while sound, summaries, Focus modes and notification display remain under device control.
Recover when alerts stop
First check Feed. If new matches are present there, the search is working and the problem is likely device permission or registration. Review the browser site setting or the app’s notification setting. Then use the current-device status in Flipinator Settings to retry safely.
If Feed is also quiet, inspect the search state, marketplace availability and criteria rather than repeatedly toggling notification permission. Support can help with a public-safe reference without asking for device tokens or sign-in codes.
A practical checklist
- Save the first useful search.
- Enable alerts only on devices where they help.
- Check browser or operating-system permission.
- Use Feed to separate search and device problems.
- Never share a sign-in code or device token.
Common questions
Will match messages arrive in my inbox?
No. Flipinator uses browser and native mobile push. Feed remains available everywhere you sign in.
Why did no prompt appear on first visit?
That is intentional. Permission is requested only after context and a deliberate action.
