Choose how campping notifies you

Choose a way to hear about an opening that you'll notice. You can set up notification methods in Settings, then choose which ones to use for each alert.

Pick your notification methods

Available options depend on what you can use in Settings:

  • Email: Verify your account email and turn on email alerts. Public alert setup starts with email.
  • Push: Turn on push for the device and allow notifications. On iPhone or iPad, open campping from its Home Screen installation to set it up.
  • SMS: Add and verify your mobile number, then turn on SMS alerts. Your account's SMS delivery allowance applies.
  • Discord: Connect a webhook for your channel and enable it. Keep the webhook URL private.
  • Telegram: Start the connection in Settings, open Telegram and tap Start, then return to check the connection and enable it.

Delivery can be affected by your device settings, network or the delivery service, so choose a method you check regularly.

Set up a method

Open in a new tab and sign in if needed. Check the status of the method you want and complete any connection or verification steps.

For push, turn on both the account setting and Push on this device. If permission is blocked, change it in your browser or device settings. You can use the device test to check it; each device needs its own setup.

For Discord or Telegram, you can use Manage and Send test to check the connection. A test is optional. If a method isn't ready, keep a working one selected while you sort it out.

Choose it for your alert

Once a method is ready in Settings, select it when you create an alert. To change an existing alert, open , edit its notification selection and save.

Check both places after changing a phone number, replacing a webhook or moving to a new device: the method needs to be ready in Settings and selected on the alert.

If you don't receive a message

In Watchlist, check that the alert is Active and look at its recent activity and any provider or delivery messages. Then check that your chosen method is selected on the alert and ready in Settings. A check that finds no matching stay won't send a notification.

If needed, check your email filters or device notification settings. A successful test is useful, but it can't guarantee when a future message will arrive.

When a notification does arrive, see how to check the stay and book.

Opens in a new tab. You can sign in or create an account there.
