Browser notifications

Watch the video: Your profile and privacy

Your browser can show a notification from Vaeroly even when the site isn't open: when a PIREP is decided, staff reply, an event you signed up for is about to start, or a booking is about to expire. It's for pilots who don't use the phone app; it's free and off until you turn it on.

Turning it on

Open Notifications (the bell at the top of every page).
Under Browser notifications, untick anything you don't want.
Press Turn on in this browser and allow notifications when your browser asks.

Each browser and device is turned on separately. On an iPhone or iPad, add Vaeroly to the home screen first (Share › Add to Home Screen) and open it from there.

What you get

PIREP accepted, rejected or questioned.
Staff replies on your PIREPs.
Events you signed up for: a day before (when your airline sends event reminders) and within the hour before the start.
New events at your airline: as soon as staff create one, or move one still to come, when your airline has new event notifications on. See Event notifications.
A booking about to expire: about two hours before a booking that hasn't started expires.
Promotions, awards, exam results and duels.
For staff: PIREPs and applications waiting for you to decide.

The table on the Notifications page shows, for each kind of notice, whether it can also reach you by email, in this browser and in the phone app, and where you choose.

Each one is also on the bell, and opening the notification marks it read. Change your choices with Save choices.

Turning it off

Press Turn off in this browser on the Notifications page, or block notifications for vaeroly.com in your browser's settings.

Privacy

The text of a notification never goes through your browser's push service: the push only wakes your browser, which then asks Vaeroly for it with your own sign-in. If notifications don't appear, check that your browser allows them for vaeroly.com.
