How do I manage my notifications and badges for Facebook in Shift?

To allow notifications: 

1. While in Facebook, click the little lock icon to the right of your top screen search bar.
2. Click on Site Settings 
3. From here you can toggle your notifications on/off

To manage badges: 

1. Right-click on the Facebook app
2. Ensure "Show App Unread Badge" has a check beside it

If you would not like the notifications to count in the badge count for that entire Workspace, we recommend toggling off "Include in Workspace Unread count".

 

After turning off your desktop notifications for Facebook, you may still continue to hear custom notification sounds from the Facebook app. To choose what you get notifications about on Facebook please refer to this article here.

 

Using multiple instances of the Facebook app in Shift

Some apps, like Facebook, have a limitation on how many instances you can be logged into at a given time. This is unfortunately out of Shift's control, and has to do with security measures Facebook has in place.

 

Accessing the Facebook app in other Workspaces

With all apps in Shift, you can create a shortcut to access them in any Workspaces to your preferences. Check out this great resource on how to accomplish that here: All About App Shortcuts
