Opening and setting up notifications and alerts from VK

In order to open the VK alert settings we need, you should go to the settings, from where you will be taken to the section with the settings for VK alerts and notifications. To do this, click on the menu that is called up when you click on your name in the upper corner, and select there, among the few available options, the option under name Settings.
And if you use the VK mobile application on your smartphone, then you can get to the necessary settings by opening the main menu, clicking on the gear image there and then going to the Notifications .
Immediately after this, general settings will be opened, which we do not need. We need a section with notifications, select it in the right side menu.
Here the notification and alert settings are divided into blocks. In the settings block under the name “Notifications on the site,” you set the algorithm for displaying instant notifications, which mainly relates to the display of incoming personal messages and their appropriate display. In the next three blocks with the names “Feedback”, “Events”, “Other”, notifications are configured, which is displayed in the top menu, near the bell icon.
And now we come to setting up alerts on the phone via SMS messages to an email address. In all cases, alerts are free.

SMS notifications can be enabled for personal messages that come to you, both from all users and specific ones, all this is configurable.

And you can select email notifications for a much larger number of events:

when sending you a friend request
the arrival of a personal message
posting a post on your wall
your person's marks on the photo
a variety of comments on posts, photographs, videos, etc.
and many other types of events on VK for which you would like to receive notifications

As we can see, the alert settings in VK are really extensive. But that is not all. It’s worth talking about another interesting type of message - instant notifications about incoming personal messages, which you will see on your desktop even if the browser is minimized or the tab with the VK website is completely closed.

To enable these notifications, you need to go to the Messages and there, at the very bottom, hover over the gear symbol. In the menu that appears, select Enable browser notifications .

You will be asked for your browser's permission to display instant notifications - confirm.

It is worth saying that not all browsers support this feature - Google Chrome, Yandex Browser, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge support it, but, for example, Internet Explorer does not.

Be sure to try, if anything, you can disable this type of notifications in the same menu.

And that's all. Now you will always be aware of what is happening on VK, directly affecting your page on this social network.

In this article you will learn how to set up notifications for messages in the VKontakte group, and no longer miss messages and comments from clients.

This feature was introduced recently and solved a long-standing problem. If messages in the group can still be tracked somehow, then finding a comment under an ancient photo is no easier than finding a needle in a garden bed.

Owners of groups selling goods will understand me. Customers love to find a photo of a product published hundreds of years ago and write under it: “how much?” Those who don’t understand, this is how they find out the price. And you don’t even know that the client asked a question and you don’t answer.

So, the hard times are over and now we will set up notifications about all actions taking place in the group.

How to activate notifications in a group?

If you are interested in updates to communities or public pages (how are they different?), you can always receive a message about the release of new posts, comments, etc. To do this, you need to activate the notification in the selected group.

We go to the desired community, and in the menu click on the “Enable notifications” item.

Activate notification in the group

This feature is very convenient for administrators - with its help you will always be aware of user activity (see how to assign an administrator in a group). This tool, paired with community statistics, will allow you to get the necessary analytics.

Note. If you activate a notification for a user or group page, then in the “Notifications” section, the “Other Sources” menu appears. By default, all alerts that relate to your page are displayed here. And in a new tab they show the people or groups you have selected.

Posts on the wall —notifies you of new posts on the group wall. It is useful if all participants in your group can write. It is easier for the moderator to track spam messages.

Mentions in Posts - This setting tells you when someone has mentioned the group in a post. You never know what kind of nasty things they wrote, it’s better to check.

Mentions in comments is a useful setting if you write comments in other groups on behalf of your group.

Commenting in groups is a method of guerrilla marketing. Its meaning is that the owner of the group leaves interesting comments in related groups and people go to see who wrote it. If you like the group, then join it.

The site has a good article about free promotion of a group with your own hands.

Comments under photos are a long-awaited setting for admins of groups involved in selling goods. No matter how you write that requests and questions need to be written in messages, people will still ask in the comments under a photo or product: “How much does it cost?”, “Price?”, “I want,” and so on.

Comments in Discussions - This setting notifies you of comments in group discussions. If you have the discussion section enabled, then enable this setting. You will be able to respond to user messages immediately, especially if you are selling something. If the topic of the group is entertaining and users communicate with each other, then it is better to disable it, otherwise there will be a lot of notifications.

Applications for a group - this section is active only if you have a closed group. If so, then enable the setting to process membership applications promptly.

Setting up notifications allows you to see the activity of users in the group and respond immediately. Be sure to enable this setting if you sell products or services.
Notification settings are very flexible. We recommend that you include: Comments on posts, Comments under photos, Comments in discussions, so as not to miss user questions.
Turn on the Mentions in comments setting if you are doing guerrilla marketing.

A special tool that is designed to “tell” you about important events on a social network. You can flexibly configure notifications to receive only the information you need.
