Notification settings and alerts

Control which alerts Dongip sends you — budget pressure, bill reminders, unusual spend, new subscriptions, and shared account activity.

Dongip sends notifications that are relevant to your money, not noise. You won’t get daily check-in pings or promotional messages — only alerts tied to real activity in your accounts: a budget getting tight, a bill coming due, a friend settling up, or a charge that looks out of the ordinary. Every notification type is individually configurable so you get exactly what’s useful and nothing more.

Types of notifications

Budget alerts

When your spending in a category approaches or exceeds the budget you’ve set, Dongip sends a budget pressure alert. You can set the threshold at which the alert fires — for example, when you’ve used 80% of a budget — so you have time to adjust before you overspend.

Bill reminders

For recurring expenses you’ve logged or that Dongip has detected from your bank feed, you can enable upcoming-bill reminders. These fire a set number of days before the bill is due, giving you time to make sure the funds are there.

Unusual spend alerts

If a transaction lands that looks unusual — a charge significantly larger than your typical pattern for a merchant or category — Dongip can flag it. This is useful for catching billing errors, unexpected subscription price changes, or charges you don’t recognize.

New subscription detected

When bank sync picks up a new recurring charge that Dongip hasn’t seen before, it notifies you immediately. This keeps your subscription list accurate and prevents forgotten trials from quietly converting to paid plans.

Shared account activity

When you’re part of a shared account, Dongip can notify you when:

• A friend or partner logs a new shared expense
• Someone pays you back or settles a balance
• You’re owed money from a recently added expense

These notifications keep everyone on the same page without requiring constant manual check-ins.

Configure your notification preferences

1. Open Settings

   Tap the Settings icon in the bottom navigation bar.

2. Go to Notifications

   Select Notifications from the Settings menu.

3. Toggle notification types

   Each notification type has its own toggle. Turn on the alerts you want and turn off the ones you don’t. Changes take effect immediately.

4. Adjust thresholds (where applicable)

   For budget alerts, tap the alert to set the percentage threshold (for example, 75% or 90% of budget used) at which the notification fires.

   For bill reminders, set how many days in advance you want to be reminded.

If you’re just getting started, turn on budget alerts and new subscription detection first — those two alone tend to have the highest immediate impact on catching overspending and unwanted charges.

Dongip respects your device’s notification permissions. If you’ve disabled notifications for Dongip at the system level, in-app settings won’t override that. Check your device’s notification settings if alerts aren’t coming through after enabling them here.

Notification schedule

Dongip batches non-urgent alerts — like bill reminders and budget summaries — rather than firing them the instant a threshold is crossed. This keeps your notification tray manageable. Time-sensitive alerts, such as unusual spend flags or new subscription detections, are sent as soon as Dongip processes the relevant transaction.

Shared account activity notifications for friend payments and settlements are sent promptly so all members stay in sync without delay.
