Notificator Support

Common questions

Nothing is captured, or my triggers stopped working

Notificator can only see notifications while it has notification access. Open Settings → System Permissions and check that Notification Access is granted; Grant opens Android’s page for it. If Android disconnected the app, turn notification access for Notificator off and on again in that page.

In the same card, tap Exempt next to Battery Optimization. Without it, Android eventually stops the app in the background, and notifications that arrive then are missed.

Some notifications never show up

Check Settings → Notification Settings: Ignore ongoing notifications skips persistent notifications like music players, and apps in Ignored apps are never captured.

How do I create a trigger?

Open the Triggers tab and tap New Trigger. Choose which notifications it runs on, what happens, and give it a name; the editor shows your trigger in plain words as you go. To start from a ready-made one, tap Browse examples when the list is empty. You can also share a trigger as a QR code and bring one in with Import Trigger.

What can a trigger do?

Read a notification aloud or say a message of your own, vibrate, play a sound, flash the light, copy text to the clipboard (such as a sign-in code), reply automatically, dismiss the notification, press one of its buttons, call a webhook with Network Request, launch an intent, or log it to a file.

A trigger didn’t do what I expected

Open the notification in the Notifications tab: its Trigger execution history shows each trigger that ran and why an action was skipped. Common reasons:

• Read Aloud says nothing: install or turn on a text-to-speech voice in your phone’s settings. If Do Not Disturb is on, turn on Ignore Do Not Disturb in the action to speak anyway.
• Auto Reply didn’t answer: the notification has no reply box, so there is nothing to answer.
• Auto Dismiss left it there: the app that posted it marked it as ongoing or not clearable.
• The trigger shows as inactive: a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or location condition needs its permission. Grant it in Settings → System Permissions; location conditions need location allowed all the time.

How do I change the language?

Notificator follows your phone’s language: English, Spanish or French. You can pick a different language just for Notificator in your phone’s settings for the app. For read-aloud actions, choose the speech language in the action itself.

Your data

Moving to a new phone

Your history and triggers stay on your phone, and Android’s own backup and phone-to-phone transfer don’t carry them. Use the app’s backup instead: Settings → Storage & backup → Back up everything writes one file, encrypted with a password you choose, with your history, triggers, settings and saved attachments. The first backup also gives you a recovery key: keep it safe, it is shown only once.

Copy the file to the new phone, then use Settings → Storage & backup → Restore from backup and enter the password or the recovery key. Close and reopen the app to finish the restore. Grant notification access again on the new phone.

Deleting your history

Delete a notification from the history, or several at once, at any time. Settings → Data → Notification retention keeps notifications forever unless you choose a number of days. Settings → Data → Clear all notification data permanently deletes every captured notification and its media; this can’t be undone.

To delete everything the app has stored on your phone, uninstall it.
