Your Updates inbox
Where Psalmly gathers everything happening across your churches — the Updates inbox and the bell. What lands there, how to open and clear it, and how it differs from the push notifications on your phone.
Updates is your in-app inbox — one calm place that gathers what's happening across all the churches you belong to, newest first. Instead of hunting through each church, you glance here and you're caught up.
Finding it
Look for the bell at the top of your dashboard and in the sidebar; a small count shows when something's new. Tap it for a quick peek, or open the full Updates page to see everything. It's on the web and in the mobile app.
What shows up
Updates pulls together the things worth knowing from every church you're part of, each tagged with which church it's from:
- Announcements your churches send.
- A note when this week's bulletin is published.
- Group news — like a request to join being approved.
- Event changes — when something you're signed up for is cancelled or rescheduled.
- Giving and membership notes relevant to you.
Tap any item to jump straight to it.
Keeping it tidy
Filter to Unread to focus on what you haven't seen, or use Mark all read to clear the count once you're caught up. Reading an item marks it read on its own.
Updates vs. notifications on your phone
Two different things, and you control them separately:
- Updates is the in-app record — it's always here when you open Psalmly, whatever your phone settings.
- Push notifications are the optional alerts on your phone (mobile app). Some things, like a weekly bulletin, land quietly in Updates without buzzing your phone; urgent announcements can do both.
To choose which push notifications and emails you get, see Your account and profile.
