Every notice (bookings, reminders, Journal receipts and decisions, role endings, removal requests) goes by email through Resend. Members who turn on phone notifications also get it on their phones and computers. Both are free.

​
Phone notifications

Standard Web Push, with no vendor in between: the browser makers’ push services deliver them, and apps/api signs each one with the Society’s VAPID key.
  • Members turn them on per device in Profile and privacy → Phone notifications, and can send themselves a test.
  • iPhone and iPad (iOS 16.4 or later) show them only when the Nexus is added to the Home Screen: Share → Add to Home Screen, then open it from there. Android and computers work in the browser.
  • Signing out removes the device, so a shared computer never shows the last member’s notices.
  • A notice goes to devices after its email. If a push fails, the email is still the record; devices their push service reports gone are removed.

​
Keys

Generate the pair once with bunx web-push generate-vapid-keys. Without them, the Profile section says the browser can’t show notifications, and everything still goes by email. Changing the keys signs every device out of notifications; members turn them on again.

​
Email limits

Resend’s free plan sends 100 emails a day and 3,000 a month. When the day’s limit is spent, the outbox waits for it to reset instead of using up its retries, and each email carries an idempotency key so a retry never sends twice.
