Personal notifications settings

You can change your notifications settings in 'Personal settings' > 'Notifications' from the top right menu.

It's possible to turn on browser notifications to see all in-app notifications immediately on your screen when you have Dealum open in your browser.

You can also enable push notifications to receive notifications when Dealum is closed. Feature is available only if you have installed Dealum Web App.

Push notifications are sent if Dealum is closed in all of your devices and limited to single notification between sessions.

Additionally, you can choose how you would like to receive email notifications. The possible settings are:
Daily — receive a daily summary of all your unread in-app notifications on your email and receive other automatic system emails. The daily summary may include notifications about new applications in the deal room, new comments and funding interests on company applications, new members in the deal room, new messages in application discussions etc.
Weekly — receive a weekly summary of all your unread in-app notifications on your email.
Disabled — do not receive any summary of unread in-app notifications on your email.

In "Notification types" section, you can choose which deal rooms you want to receive notifications from as well as which notifications and how you would like to receive from each of them. Click on the deal room name to expand the settings. You can choose between three settings for each listed deal room activity that can trigger notifications:
The activity has a regular priority, meaning an in-app notification is enabled.
"Important" — you’ll get a separate email notification every time this activity happens (except for when you're online on the platform).
"Disabled" — you won't be notified about the activity.


For important notifications you can choose how often you want to receive them on your email. The options are:
Hourly — receive important notifications, sent while you were offline, on your email hourly.
Daily — receive important notifications, sent while you were offline, on your email once a day.
Disabled — do not receive any emails about important notifications.

If a user has not used Dealum for 30 days, email notifications will be automatically reduced to Weekly and important notifications to Daily levels to reduce unwanted emails. Levels are restored to user-defined when the user logs back in.

Some activities have only two settings — "Important" and "Disabled" since users are always notified about the activity via email.

Please note that depending on your access, you might not receive notifications about some of the activities at all, despite having corresponding notifications enabled in your settings. For more information about your access, please contact an admin of the corresponding deal room.


Activities, necessary access levels and other prerequisites for receiving a notification about the activity are explained in the following table.
