📲 What Devices Support Push Notifications?

  • âś… MacBooks, Windows PCs, Android devices – fully supported

  • ❌ iOS devices (iPhones, iPads) – not supported due to Apple restrictions.

ℹ️ Info: Bidders on iPhones will not receive push notifications, but they’ll still get text messages.

🚀 How to Enable Push Notifications

To allow push notifications for your bidding account:

  1. Log into the bidding site

  2. A pop-up will appear: Click "Yes" when asked to allow push notifications

  3. Your browser will trigger a second pop-up: Click "Allow"

  4. You can manage these settings anytime by clicking Menu > Notifications on the bidding site

  5. Toggle “Allow push notifications for your account” to Yes

⚠️ If you accidentally block notifications, go to your browser settings, clear history or permissions, then re-enable notifications for cbo.io

đź‘€ Sample Experience by Device

Here’s what push notifications look like:

  • đź’» Windows 10 + Google Chrome: Notification appears in the bottom right corner of the desktop

  • 📱 Samsung Galaxy + Chrome: Notification pops up like a regular app alert

  • 🧑‍💻 MacBook: Displays native browser notification (if enabled)

đź’¬ How to Send a Push Notification (Admin View)

Push Notifications are sent the same way you send a text message:

  1. Go to Bidders > Text Bidders

  2. Compose your message

  3. Push Notifications will only go to logged-in bidders who have allowed them

  4. If a bidder has not logged in, they will not receive a push notification

đź’ˇ Use filters wisely! The filter "Bidders who have not logged in" will not receive push messages.

đź“ś View Push Notification History

To see your message history:

  • Go to Bidders > Text Bidders > Precomposed Texts

  • Click Sent To... next to any message

  • You’ll see how each message was delivered (SMS vs. Push)

To view a specific bidder's push notification history:

  1. Go to Bidders > Manage Bidders

  2. Click into the Bidder Profile

  3. Select View Push Notifications

🔍 Under a bidder record, you’ll see:
“This Bidder can receive push notifications?” → If it says Yes, they’re eligible, but they still must accept browser permission to receive them.
