How to set up push notifications

- Install the Quantisnow mobile app on your phone.
- Sign in to the app with the same email and password you use on the website. The app registers your device for push.
- Allow notifications when your phone asks.

- Click Send test push next to the device. You should see a test notification within moments.
- Go to /follows, click Alerts off next to a ticker, and switch on Push under Channels plus the categories you want.
Repeat step 7 for each ticker. See Alerts for what each category covers.
How to set notification hours and urgency
Notification hours and urgency are set inside the Quantisnow mobile app, not on the website. Use them to keep alerts to market hours or to let only urgent items through overnight.
Managing devices
- Every device you sign in to the app on appears under Push on /alerters.
- If you see No devices yet. Sign in to the Quantisnow app to register this device., open the app and sign in.
- Signing in on a new phone adds it to the list. All registered devices receive push alerts.
Choosing what triggers a push
Push works best when it is selective. Some ideas:
- Turn on Important only for tickers where you want only the biggest items on your phone.
- Use push for the urgent categories such as FDA, SEC filings and Analyst ratings, and email for the rest. See Email alerts and digests.
- Keep push to positions you hold. For names you are just researching, email or the feed may be enough.
For a biotech, an FDA decision is often the biggest event of the year. Read PDUFA dates explained for why.
