Finthy tells you about things that affect your money. Settings > Notifications controls how.
The one setting
Send me email notifications, a single toggle. The screen describes itself as choosing how you are notified about events, budgets and matches, and that is what the toggle covers: one switch for all of it, not a grid of checkboxes.
It saves itself as you change it. There is no Save button on this tab.
In-app notifications are always on
They need no setup and cannot be turned off, which is deliberate: they cost you nothing and they are how Finthy tells you a bank stopped syncing. They are clickable, so selecting one takes you to its subject, such as the event, statement or bank it refers to.
The email toggle is about also emailing you. In-app stays on either way.
What Finthy notifies you about
- An event reminder, for a bill, salary or subscription you put on the calendar.
- A possible match for a calendar event, when a transaction looks like the real thing.
- An event that was not matched, when its date passed with nothing found.
- A statement ready to review, after you forward one by email, with how many transactions it holds.
- Time to update an account, for a manual account around its usual statement day.
- A bank connection expiring, with the date your bank requires you to reconnect by.
- A bank connection that stopped syncing, which needs reconnecting.
- A bank that finished syncing.
- An import that failed, including a forwarded email with no statement attached.
- A Gmail forwarding confirmation, when you set up auto-forwarding from your bank.
Budget alerts are set per budget
They are not on this tab. A budget carries its own Enable Alerts and Alert Threshold, so one budget can warn you at 80% while another stays quiet.
Those alerts have their own list, with All and Unread, and Mark as read and Mark all as read. The email toggle in Settings decides whether they also reach your inbox; the thresholds themselves live with the budget.
Emails follow your language
A notification email is sent in the language set on your account, not the language of whatever device opens it. That setting is Settings > Account > Language Preferences.
Push notifications are not available yet
There is no Finthy app in the App Store or Google Play, so there is nothing to push to. Native iOS and Android apps are on our roadmap, and device notifications for these same events will arrive with them.
Until then, email is the way to hear about something while Finthy is closed.
