Control freak? Respect. Here's how to fine-tune exactly what Pie notifies you about.
Pie gives you separate control over push notifications and SMS for each notification type. Turn any of them on or off individually — except system messages, which always come through.
📱 On the App
- Go to Profile → Settings → Notifications.
- Find the category you want to adjust.
- Toggle Push or SMS on or off.
💻 On the Web
- Sign in at getpie.app.
- Go to your profile → Settings → Notifications.
- Toggle as needed.
What you can control
| Category | Push | SMS | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plan alerts | ✅ | ✅ | RSVPs, requests, plan changes, payments |
| Invites | ✅ | ✅ | Plan invitations |
| Stars | ✅ | ✅ | New stars, Stars Aligned |
| Text bumps | — | ✅ | Host announcements to attendees |
| Chats | ✅ | — | Direct messages |
| Plan chats | ✅ | — | Plan group chat messages |
| Connections | ✅ | — | Friend requests and follows |
| System | ✅ | ✅ | Always on — can't be disabled |
💡 Push and SMS are controlled independently. You can keep SMS off for chats but keep push on, for example.
FAQ
Is there a way to mute everything at once?
Not in Pie directly — you'd need to toggle categories individually. For full silence, use your phone's system-level Do Not Disturb.
Why am I still getting some SMS even though I turned them off?
Check that you've toggled off the right category. Some categories only support push, not SMS — so turning off SMS for one category won't affect another.
Why can't I turn off system notifications?
System notifications cover things like payment confirmations and messages from the Pie team. Since they're account-critical, they can't be disabled.
What if I opted out of SMS via text?
If you replied STOP to a Pie SMS, you've opted out at the carrier level. To get SMS again you'll need to opt back in — toggling settings in the app alone won't re-enable them.
Do my notification settings apply on both app and web?
Yes. Settings are per account, not per device.
