Third-Party App Notification Access

The “third-party app notifications” or “notifications from other apps in Visualfy” permission is an Android-only permission used by Third-Party Apps and the Visualfy Places accessible SMS alert.

It allows the Visualfy app to read notifications from other apps. When another app creates a notification, Visualfy lights up the locked phone screen in color to alert the user.

To enable this permission:

Third-Party Apps #

  • Tap the “+” button in “Third-party apps” in “Visualfy Mobile”.
  • Tap “Enable”.
  • Notification access for Visualfy is now enabled.

Accessible SMS alert #

  • If you have not granted this permission before, the app will ask you to enable it when you subscribe to an accessible building that has this alert.

Learn more about the accessible SMS alert.

NOTE: if this permission is not enabled, you cannot create any Third-Party App alerts in Visualfy.
