Choose notification channels

Updated July 2026

You'll learn how to: Route different types of notifications to email, Telegram, desktop, or in-app so you stay informed without being overwhelmed.

Time: 5 minutes.

Prereqs: You're signed in. Optional: Connect Telegram if you want Telegram as a channel.

Where notification settings live

Open your avatar (top-right), then click Settings.
Click the Notifications tab.

You see sections for each notification channel, event type, and delivery preferences.

Settings Notifications tab with channels

Available channels

Nynch can deliver notifications through four channels. Each event type can route to one or more of these:

Email: Digest format. Batches multiple events into one email per interval (hourly, daily, or weekly).
Telegram: Instant alerts via the Nynch bot. Respects quiet hours.
Desktop push: Browser notifications for urgent events (only works if the browser tab is open).
In-app: Badges and toast notifications inside the Nynch interface.

Event types and per-channel routing

Scroll down to see event types. Each row shows toggles for which channels should deliver that event:

Pipeline alerts: A deal moved stages, an amount changed, or a new deal was created.
Contact signals: Job changes, social movements, or verified company data on a contact you follow.
Task and commitment reminders: Things due or overdue.
Approvals: Pending AI actions waiting for your green light.
Meeting prep: AI-generated briefing ready for an upcoming meeting.
Daily briefing: Your summary of pipeline, overdue items, and today's schedule.

Click the toggle in each column to enable or disable that channel for that event. A green checkmark means it's on.

Digest frequency (email only)

For email, choose how often you want batches:

Instant: One email per event (can be noisy; good for urgent channels only).
Hourly: Batch events every hour.
Daily: One digest per day at your chosen time.
Weekly: One digest per week on your chosen day.

Quiet hours

Quiet hours pause notifications during times you don't want to be disturbed, even if a channel is on. For example, set 7pm to 8am so you don't get pinged during dinner or overnight.

Find the Quiet hours row.
Toggle it on.
Set your start and end times.
Choose which channels respect quiet hours. (Usually all of them, but you can carve out exceptions.)

Notifications scheduled during quiet hours are delivered after quiet hours end, or first thing in the morning digest.

Telegram-specific settings

If you've connected Telegram, you see an additional Telegram preferences section:

Toggle daily briefing on/off.
Set your preferred briefing delivery time.
Choose voice message handling (on/off).
Select a voice for bot replies.

These sync with the /settings command in the Telegram bot itself.

Tips

Start conservative. Turn on only critical channels (e.g., Approvals to Telegram, everything else to email digest) and expand from there.
Use quiet hours for boundaries. Even if you have Telegram on 24/7, set quiet hours so urgent things wait until morning.
Test before relying on a channel. Send a test notification to make sure email reaches your inbox and Telegram still works after a few days.
Desktop push is noisy. Reserve it for truly urgent events (approvals, critical deal updates) since it only works if you have the browser tab open.

If something goes wrong

Symptom: "I'm getting too many emails." → Fix: Change the frequency from Instant to Hourly or Daily. Or turn off entire event types you don't care about (e.g., toggle off Contact Signals if you only care about deals).
Symptom: "Notifications aren't respecting quiet hours." → Fix: Make sure quiet hours are toggled on (not just configured) and that the channels you're using are selected in the "which channels respect quiet hours" section.
Symptom: "Telegram notifications stopped." → Fix: Check that Telegram channel is still connected (avatar > Settings > Integrations > Telegram card should show Connected). Send /ping to the bot. If it doesn't respond, disconnect and reconnect.
Symptom: "I'm not getting the daily briefing." → Fix: In the Notifications tab, confirm the Daily Briefing row is toggled on for at least one channel. Check your quiet hours to see if that time is muted. If using email, check your spam folder.
Symptom: "Desktop push never shows." → Fix: Desktop push requires the Nynch tab to be in focus or active in your browser. If the tab is hidden or minimized, you won't see it. Consider using Telegram or email instead for 24/7 coverage.
