# Notifications and Live Activities

> Get told on iPhone when Botep finishes an answer or an ad account finishes connecting.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Find it in** the app's account sheet, **Account**, **Notifications**. **Last updated** 9 Oct 2026.

## Overview

The app tells you about two things: an answer that finished while you were away, and an ad account that finished connecting. While either is still running, a Live Activity shows its progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. One switch turns all of it on or off.

## How it works

**1. You start something**

Ask Botep a question, or connect an ad account.

**2. You leave the app**

A Live Activity shows the progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

**3. It finishes**

You get a notification. Tap it to land on the answer or the ad account.

## Notifications

### Your answer is ready

When Console finishes an answer after you left the app, you get **Your answer is ready** with the first line of the answer. Tap it to open that conversation. These arrive quietly in Notification Center at first, without a sound or a banner, until you turn notifications fully on.

### Ad account connected

When an ad account finishes connecting, you get a notification named after the account, for example "Shop name connected". If several connect at once, they are grouped into one. If it fails, the title starts with **Couldn't connect**. Tap it to open the ad account, or Ad accounts. This also covers a connection you started on another device.

## Live Activities

### Connecting an ad account

Shows **Connecting** with the account name, a percent and the step count, for example 2/5. When it finishes it reads **Data will start flowing shortly.** If the app has not heard back for a while it reads **May still be running. Open Epsilo One to check.** Tap it to open the ad account.

### Answer in progress

Shows **Working on it** while Botep answers, then **Answer ready**, **Couldn't finish** or **Stopped**. If the app could not confirm the result, it reads **May have finished**. Tap it to open Console.

## Use it

### Turn notifications on or off

**1. Open the account sheet**

Tap your avatar.

**2. Switch Notifications**

Under **Account**, turn **Notifications** on or off. This one switch covers answers and connections.

**3. Allow in iOS Settings if asked**

If you already answered the iOS permission prompt, the app shows **Turn on notifications**. Tap **Open Settings** and allow notifications for Epsilo One.

## FAQ

> [accordion] Do automations send push notifications to my iPhone?
>
> No. Automations and scheduled artifacts send to the channels you set on them, such as email or Slack. The app's notifications cover answers and connections only.

> [accordion] I stopped getting notifications after signing out.
>
> Signing out removes this device from notifications. Sign back in to get them again.

> [accordion] Why are answer notifications silent?
>
> Answer notifications start in quiet mode. Turn **Notifications** on in the account sheet and allow them in iOS Settings for banners and sound.
