What are desktop push notifications?

Desktop push notifications are small pop-up alerts that appear on your computer screen from a website or web app, even when you are working in another window. In CIPHER CRM they come through your browser and keep working after you close the CRM tab, so you do not miss something just because the app is not in front of you.

CIPHER CRM sends desktop push notifications so that important alerts reach you when you are not looking at the CRM. They are switched on by default and work even when the browser tab is closed, so you can shut the tab at the end of a task and still hear about the next thing that needs you. Every staff member sets their own notification preferences. There is a setting for desktop and browser push alerts, and a separate set of per-category toggles for email notifications, so one person can choose push only, another can choose email for some things, and a third can keep both. Nobody has to accept a setup chosen for someone else. Push alerts sit alongside the bell inside the app, which keeps the full feed of mentions, assignments and updates. Most teams are live on CIPHER CRM in 1 to 3 days, with free data migration.

The problem

What happens without computer pop-up alerts

You close the CRM tab to focus, and a teammate's urgent question sits unseen until you open it again.

You keep the CRM open all day just in case, and it gets lost among twenty other tabs anyway.

Everyone gets the same flood of emails from the system, so people start ignoring them all.

A manager wants every alert and a field coordinator wants almost none, but the settings are the same for everyone.

What slips without Computer pop-up alerts

Capabilities

What you can do with computer pop-up alerts

Alerts with the tab closed

Desktop push notifications keep working after you close the CIPHER CRM browser tab, so you still hear about what needs you.
On from the start

Push notifications are on by default, so new staff get alerts from day one without hunting for a setting.
Your own settings, not the team's

Each staff member sets their own preferences, so one person's choices never change what anyone else receives.
Pick which emails you get

Email notifications have a toggle for each category, so you can keep the emails you want and turn off the rest.
Works with the bell

Push alerts reach you outside the app, while the notification center keeps the full live feed for when you are inside it.

Why CIPHER

Why computer pop-up alerts are better in CIPHER

Many web CRMs only reach you while their tab is open, or fall back to a pile of email. We send desktop alerts that work either way and let each person choose.

No need to keep a tab open

Alerts arrive even with the browser tab closed, so the CRM does not have to sit open all day.
Product preview

Per-person, per-category control

Push and email preferences are set by each staff member, with email broken down by category.
Product preview

Nothing to install

Push comes through the browser you already use to open CIPHER CRM, with no extra desktop program.
