How to configure beaconcha.in notifications

Notification configuration

Configuration

This article provides a tutorial on setting up and debugging notifications using beaconcha.in's web and mobile platforms.

It's worth noting that the current notification center will undergo an upgrade in late 2023 to upgrade its user-friendliness

Enabling notifications via web

  1. Head over to https://beaconcha.in/user/notifications and log in with your e-mail address.

  2. Click on "Notifications Channels" and make sure the desired channels are active

  3. Scroll down to the Validators table and add your validators. Once added you can select all and bulk edit the notifications by clicking Manage selected.

  4. Enable the desired notification(s) and press Save.

  5. Verify that the subscriptions are enabled

  6. If a notification was triggered it will show up in the Most recent column
    \

  7. Done!

{% hint style="info" %} You may have noticed that the Notification Center allows you to configure Push notifications for the mobile app. This is crucial since some users may not receive any push notifications if it is disabled. {% endhint %}

Mobile app

  1. Download the app for iOS and Android here https://beaconcha.in/mobile

  2. Create an account and log in with your e-mail address

    &#xNAN;Note: If you added validators to your Notification center through https://beaconcha.in/user/notifications they will not appear in your mobile app automatically.
    If push notifications were enabled in the web notification center, the mobile app push the notifications through even if the validators are not visible in your app.

    This UX issue will be part of the improvements later this year.\

  3. Add validators to your mobile app dashboard

  4. Head over to the settings and enable the desired notifications
    \

  5. Click the "Sync" button in the Validator section

    \

  6. Done!

    Verify that the notifications were added successfully by logging in at https://beaconcha.in/user/notifications and scrolling to the Validator table at the bottom of the page

Webhooks

  1. Follow the steps as described above in "Enabling notifications via web".
  2. Double-check that webhooks are enabled
  3. Add a webhook via https://beaconcha.in/user/webhooks
  4. Enable the same notification types as on the notification center and enable "discord" if the notifications should be sent to a discord channel
  5. Done
