How do I enable Notifications and punch reminders in the app?

Notifications in Day.io remind you to clock in and out on time.

This article explains how to allow system notifications and activate punch reminders inside the app.

Key actions or configuration

1. Allow system notifications
   • The first time you open Day.io or after reinstalling, your device will ask: “Allow Day to send notifications?”.
   • Tap Allow so the app can send alerts for clock‑in, breaks and clock‑out.
     
     
2. Activate the Punch Reminder in the app
   • From Profile open Notifications.
   • Find the Punch Reminders option and switch it on.
   • Set the time when you want to receive the reminder (for example, a few minutes before your shift).
   • Enable also the My Requests' status option. This notification is sent to update you about absences re status. For example: "Your Medical request was approved".
     
     

Tips or troubleshooting

• If you’re not receiving reminders, make sure notifications are enabled for Day.io in your device settings and that the Punch Reminder is turned on in the app.
• If you declined notification permission, your device may not prompt again. To enable later, go to Device settings > Notifications and enable notifications for Day.io.

Best practices

• Keep reminders enabled so you don’t forget to clock in or out.
• Set reminder times a few minutes before your scheduled start to prepare in advance.
