In-app notifications
Phyn can receive push notifications from your Jellyfin server, so you can be alerted when supported server events happen without opening the app first.
Use this feature when you want Phyn to notify your phone, tablet, or desktop after your server sends an event through a webhook notification URL.
What this feature does: Phyn gives you a notification URL. You add that URL to a supported Jellyfin webhook setup, and Phyn receives notifications when your server sends events to it.
What you can do
With in-app notifications, you can:
- Generate a notification URL for every device signed in with your Phyn account.
- Generate a notification URL for only the current device.
- Copy the URL from Phyn and add it to your Jellyfin webhook configuration.
- Receive supported server notifications through Phyn after the webhook is configured.
Before you start
You need a Jellyfin server, a supported webhook setup on that server, notification permission on your device, and access to Phyn's notification URL flow.
Generating notification URLs currently requires Phyn Premium. If Phyn opens the purchase screen when you try to copy a notification URL, upgrade or restore purchases before continuing.
Where to find it
Open Phyn, go to Settings, then look for In-app notifications under Jellyfin Notifications.
Choose Notify all devices if you want one URL that can notify your devices signed in with Phyn. Choose Notify this device if you want notifications only on the device you are using now.
Device choice: Use Notify this device when you want a quieter setup, such as notifications only on your phone. Use Notify all devices when every signed-in Phyn device should receive the same server events.
