Push notifications

This article describes the benefits of enabling Cerby’s push notifications in your browser to get recent updates and requests.

With Cerby’s push notifications, you can receive real-time alerts directly in your Cerby dashboard. When you enable this feature, Cerby immediately notifies you whenever a new trusted device is added to your workspace, enabling you to approve or deny access with just a single tap, ensuring you're always in control.

The following are some of the benefits you get by turning on push notifications:

• Immediate visibility: Get a prompt notification when a device is onboarded, rather than discovering it later through your profile.

• One-tap approval: Review the device details and approve or reject new trusted devices directly from the notification.

NOTE: At the moment, Cerby shows notifications when onboarding a new trusted device.

How push notifications work

With Cerby’s push notifications, the process to onboard a new trusted device is simplified as follows:

1. Turn on push notifications in your Cerby dashboard.

2. When Cerby detects an onboarding request from an unrecognized device, it automatically sends you a push notification directly to your Cerby dashboard, as shown in Figure 1.

3. Click the notification buttons to approve or reject the new device:

   • Approve: Adds the device to your trusted list and finishes onboarding.

   • Deny: Rejects the onboarding of the new device and keeps its session as not trusted.

And, that’s it.
