Notification center

Notifications — “Stay up to date with ranking changes, audit results, backlinks, and usage alerts” — is the in-app feed for everything Surnex wants to tell you.

Actions

• Mark as read — opening a notification marks it read
• Delete — remove one, confirmed with “Are you sure you want to delete this notification? This action cannot be undone.”
• Clear all read — “This will permanently delete all notifications you’ve already read.”

Clear all read is the practical way to keep the feed usable. Completion notifications accumulate quickly on a project checking daily.

Empty states

What appears here

Everything you’ve enabled for the In-App channel in notification preferences: ranking alerts, audit and check completions, backlink movement, report readiness, and usage warnings. Notifications are per member. Clearing yours doesn’t affect a teammate’s.

​

Notifications vs. the ranking alert feed

They overlap, and it’s worth knowing which to use: Use the notification center as an inbox — has anything happened I should know about? Use Position changes when you’re specifically investigating ranking movement, because it groups by date and lets you compare arbitrary ranges.

​

Not seeing something

If an event you expected isn’t here, check three things in order:

1. Is the In-App channel enabled for that event in preferences?
2. Did the underlying job run? A completion notification only fires when the job completes — see How data collection works.
3. Did the event actually meet its threshold? Ranking alerts need a 5+ position move or a band crossing. See Ranking alerts.
