​
Receive notifications in the browser tab

Enable notifications in the browser tab when a new conversation comes in. When you click on the notification you will be taken directly to the relevant conversation. We recommend using one of the following browsers:
  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Safari
  • Microsoft Edge
You must allow pop-ups for Watermelon in your default browser. If you accidentally block notifications, pop-ups, tab notifications, and sounds may stop working.

​
Problem solving

If you don’t receive notifications in your browser, check the browser settings to allow notification. You also need to enable notifications for your web browser in your PC settings.

For email notifications, it’s important that your email system is set up to receive emails from Watermelon. If you don’t receive emails after setting up notifications, it might be because the domain used by Watermelon to send notifications is on the ‘greylist’. Emails from the “@watermelon.ai” domain may be delayed or blocked. Additionally, your spam filter might mark Watermelon notification emails as spam.To resolve this:
  • Contact the administrator of your email system. 
  • Ask them to add the @watermelon.ai domain to the ‘whitelist’.
  • Optionally, ask them to update the email program to the latest version.
Check if your device is not muted. If not, check the sound settings of your device.
