Notification Preferences
Notification Preferences lets you control which event notifications you receive from Acqui, and how you receive them — by email or browser push.
How Notifications Work
Section titled “How Notifications Work”Acqui sends notifications when specific business events occur, such as an invoice being paid or a petty cash movement in the register. You choose which events you want to hear about and whether to receive them by email, push notification, or both.
Notifications are only sent to you for programs you have permission to access. If you do not have access to a program, those notification rows show a lock icon instead of a checkbox. Your administrator can update your program permissions from Team Management.
Enabling Browser Push Notifications
Section titled “Enabling Browser Push Notifications”To receive push notifications, you must first enable browser notifications from within the app.
- Open Notification Preferences from Settings.
- Select Enable Notifications to trigger the browser permission prompt.
- Allow notifications when your browser asks.
The enable button is hidden once push is active for the current browser. To receive push notifications on another device or browser, enable notifications there as well.
Push notification delivery also depends on your operating system notification settings. If you have enabled notifications in the app but banners are not appearing, check that your OS notification settings allow notifications from your browser.

Managing Your Preferences
Section titled “Managing Your Preferences”In the Notification Preferences drawer each event row shows three columns:
| Column | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Notification | Whether to receive this event as a notification at all |
| Whether to deliver by email | |
| Push | Whether to deliver as a browser push notification |
Enable the top-level Notification toggle for an event before enabling Email or Push. Disabling the Notification toggle turns off both channels for that event.
Rows with a lock icon are for programs you do not currently have access to. Contact your administrator to update your permissions.
