Open the PromoStar mobile app and tap Turn on under Notifications. PromoStar then sends your phone a notification when a planned post is ready.

​
Turn on notifications

  1. Open the PromoStar app from your Home Screen. On iPhone, notifications work only from the Home Screen app. See Install the PromoStar mobile app.
  2. Under Notifications, tap Turn on. Your phone asks for permission. Allow it.
  3. The section now reads Notifications are on for this phone. Tap Turn off any time to stop them.
If PromoStar shows something else in place of Turn on, see Why a notification did not arrive.

​
See and remove your phones

On your computer, open Platform Connections. The Mobile App card lists each phone with notifications on under Your phones, with the date you added it. Select Remove next to a phone to stop its notifications. PromoStar confirms with Phone removed.

​
What the app shows

  • Ready now lists posts whose time has come. Each card has Download media, Open Reddit, a field for the Reddit post link, and Mark Skipped and Mark Posted.
  • Up next lists posts planned for the next 3 days. Each one moves to Ready now when its time comes.
  • History opens the History tab in Posts.

​
The notification

The notification says A post is ready. It carries no subreddit, title, or media. Tap it and PromoStar opens the mobile view, scrolls to that post’s card, and outlines it.

​
One alert per post

  • Each post sends one notification to each phone that has notifications on. A second phone gets its own.
  • PromoStar does not send it again if you undo marking the post, reschedule it, or turn notifications off and on.
  • Posts already due before you turned notifications on do not send one.
  • A failed send can lose an alert. Ready now still lists the post.
