Approve from a push notification

When push is enabled, every pending approval triggers a Web Push notification to every device that has the dashboard registered. You can decide right from the notification — no need to keep the dashboard open.

Enable push first

Push notifications setup walks through it. Once enabled per device, you’ll start receiving notifications immediately.

What the notification shows


AgentValet — approval required
{agent name} wants to {action} on {platform}
[ Approve ]   [ Deny ]

On supported browsers, the Approve and Deny buttons appear directly in the notification (Web Push action buttons). On unsupported browsers / OSes, you tap the body of the notification to open the approval page.

Push notification with approve and deny action buttons — A real push — agent, action, two-button decision.

Approving from the notification

Tap Approve. Two things can happen:

You have a passkey registered on this device → the notification opens the mobile approval detail with ?action=approve and immediately prompts for biometric. One tap, done.
No passkey → the notification opens the approval page; you tap the on-page Approve button to confirm.

Same applies to Deny — instant if you have a session, one extra tap otherwise.

When the notification doesn’t go through

A few common reasons:

OS notification permissions are off. Check Settings → Notifications on your phone or browser.
Browser closed entirely on desktop. Web Push needs the browser to be running in the background (most modern browsers do).
Service worker out of date. Hard-refresh the dashboard once; it re-registers.
Multiple devices, the one that handled it isn’t this one. If you approved from another device first, this notification becomes stale. Tapping it shows “Already actioned”.

Web Push only — for now

We don’t yet have native APNs (iOS Safari home-screen install) or FCM (native Android apps) wired up. Web Push works on Chrome on every platform, Firefox on every platform, Safari 16+ on macOS, and Safari 16.4+ on iOS when you’ve added the dashboard to your home screen as a web app.

If you need native push on iOS without home-screen install, that’s on the roadmap; tell us if you’re blocked.
