Configure notifications
Open notification settings
Go to Settings → Notifications and choose the event you care about, such as a likely open, click, PDF view, no reply, or multiple opens.
Choose the channel
Set the desktop, email, or push checkbox for that event. Each rule saves separately; different channels can remain on.
Check permission for push
Enable browser push if you want it, then check the browser site's notification permission and operating-system focus settings.
Verify the event first
Confirm the expected signal appears in Latest activity. A privacy fetch or scanner event does not trigger a likely-open rule.
