Yes. To receive notifications of new messages while you browse other sites or use other tools on your desktop, turn on browser notifications.

  1. Sign into your account at inbox.numa.com

  2. In the green banner at the top of the screen, click on "Turn on browser notifications."

  3. Your browser will prompt you to allow browser notifications from Numa. Click 'Accept'.

Note: If you don't see the green banner at the top of the screen you can click on Me > Personal Settings and then turn on browser notifications.

Note: In order to receive browser notifications you must stay signed into your account and keep Numa open in one of your browser's tabs. If you close the Numa tab or sign out of your account, you won't receive notifications.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR WINDOWS USERS

In Windows 10, there’s a feature called "Focus Assist" which may be turned on (by default) on your computer -- it only allows notifications categorized as “Alarms” to appear.

To see and hear Numa notifications, you need to make sure that the browser is not blocked by the Operating System.

When Focus Assist is turned on, there’s a little moon in the bottom right corner of System tray:
