Step-by-Step Setup

1

Allow Browser Notifications

When prompted, click Allow to enable notifications from GrabMyGig.
2

Enable Web Push in Settings

Go to Settings → Notifications and toggle ON Web Push.
3

Keep Browser Open

Web Push works best when you have the GrabMyGig tab open or the browser running in the background.
Make sure your browser allows notifications. Check your browser settings if you don’t see the permission prompt.

​
Notification Types

Choose which events you want to be notified about:
NotificationDescription
Offer AcceptedWhen the bot successfully grabs a gig for you
Offer MissedWhen a matching offer was taken by someone else
Bot StartedWhen your bot is activated
Bot StoppedWhen your bot is paused or stopped
ErrorsWhen the bot encounters issues that need attention
We recommend enabling at least Offer Accepted notifications so you know when to head to a pickup location.
