Strautomator keeps you informed about important events — from a GearWear component approaching its service threshold to an automation that failed to run — through its in-app notification system. All alerts are delivered inside the app, with optional email summaries if you accumulate unread messages.

​
Where to Find Notifications

A bell icon in the top navigation bar shows your current unread notification count. Click the bell (or navigate to Account → Notifications) to open the Notifications page. The Notifications page displays two sections:
  • Unread — new notifications you have not yet seen, listed in reverse chronological order.
  • Read — notifications you have already viewed, kept for reference.
Strautomator automatically marks notifications as read after you view them for a short moment on the page. You do not need to click each one individually.

​
Types of Notifications

GearWear Alerts

Receive a pre-alert when a component is approaching its configured distance or time threshold, and a threshold alert when it reaches or exceeds it. These remind you to inspect or replace components like chains, tyres, and brake pads before they become a safety issue.

Failed Automations

If an automation (recipe) fails to run repeatedly — for example, because Strava rejects a field value — Strautomator sends a notification so you can review and fix the automation before it causes further issues.

FTP Auto-Update

When the FTP auto-update feature (PRO) updates your Functional Threshold Power value in Strava, you receive a notification showing the old and new FTP values so you can review the change.

Personal Records

Each time Strautomator detects a new personal record in one of your activities, a notification lists the record type and the activity it came from. Free accounts track Ride and Run PRs; PRO accounts track all supported sport types.

System Announcements

Strautomator occasionally sends announcements about new features, planned maintenance, or important changes to the service. These appear in your notification feed so you do not miss anything significant.

Auth Error Alerts

If Strautomator loses its connection to your Strava account — for example, because your OAuth token expired or you revoked access — an alert notifies you immediately so you can re-authenticate and avoid missing activity processing.

​
Email Reminders

Strautomator monitors your unread notification count. If you accumulate a significant number of unread alerts without logging in to clear them, the system may send an email summary to the address registered on your account. This acts as a safety net so critical alerts (such as an auth error or a failed automation) do not go unnoticed.
Email reminders are only sent to a confirmed email address. If you have not yet added or verified an email address, visit Account → Settings to do so.

​
No Push Notifications

Strautomator does not currently support browser push notifications or mobile push notifications. All alerts are delivered in-app through the notification centre, with the optional email fallback described above.
Make a habit of checking the bell icon after a block of activity recording — GearWear threshold alerts and personal record notifications appear there as soon as your activities are processed, usually within a few minutes of syncing with Strava.
