In the app

Notifications in the Chaana app, and how to control them.

Chaana notifications are in-app updates under the bell, telling you about replies in Saath, appointment updates, new jobs and job seekers, reviews of your business, news from businesses you follow, and announcements from the Chaana team. Each category can be switched off. Chaana does not send push notifications to your lock screen yet.

What you can do.

What you are told about

Saath
A new comment on your post, a reply to your comment, and a like or love on your comment.
Appointments
When a viewing or interview is proposed, confirmed, declined or cancelled.
Jobs
"New job posted" and "Someone is looking for work", sent to every member who has that category on.
Your business
A "New review" notification with the star rating, every time someone reviews you.
Businesses you follow
When they add something new to their menu or catalog, or a new special.
Announcements
Pop-up notices from the Chaana team.

How it works

The bell
An unread count, a list with filter tabs, and pop-ups in real time while the app is open.
Your switches
Under Profile, Notifications: a master switch, plus Job offers, Looking for work, Businesses, Reviews and Saath community. All start on.

How it works.

How to change your notifications

  1. Open Profile in the Chaana app.
  2. Tap Notifications.
  3. Switch off any category you do not want, or use the master switch to turn them all off.

What you get.

  • Replies find you

    You do not have to keep checking a Saath thread to know someone answered.

  • Early on new jobs

    Hear about a new job as soon as it is posted.

  • Owners hear about reviews

    Every new review reaches the business owner straight away.

How you are protected.

The safety rules and limits, stated plainly.

  • Announcements come only from the Chaana team.

  • You cannot reply to a notification, so nobody can message you through one.

  • Job notifications go to every member with the category on, not by location, so switch Jobs off if you are not looking.

Questions people ask.

Does Chaana send push notifications?

Not yet. Notifications appear inside the app, under the bell, and as pop-ups while the app is open.

What will Chaana notify me about?

Replies and reactions in Saath, appointment updates, new jobs and job seekers, reviews of your business, new items and specials from businesses you follow, and announcements from the Chaana team.

How do I turn Chaana notifications off?

Open Profile, then Notifications, and switch off a category or use the master switch.

Will I be notified about new rooms?

No, not at the moment. Check the Rooms tab, or post a "Looking for a room" so people with a room can contact you.

Hear about what matters to you.

Notifications come with every Chaana account, and every category can be switched off.
