Frigate offers native notifications using the [WebPush Protocol](https://web.dev/articles/push-notifications-web-push-protocol) which uses the [VAPID spec](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-thomson-webpush-vapid) to deliver notifications to web apps using encryption.
## Setting up Notifications
In order to use notifications the following requirements must be met:
- Frigate must be accessed via a secure https connection
- A supported browser must be used. Currently Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are known to be supported.
- In order for notifications to be usable externally, Frigate must be accessible externally
## Configuration
### Configuration
To configure notifications, go to the Frigate WebUI -> Settings -> Notifications and enable, then fill out the fields and save.
## Registration
### Registration
Once notifications are enabled, press the `Register for Notifications` button on all devices that you would like to receive notifications on. This will register the background worker. After this Frigate must be restarted and then notifications will begin to be sent.
