I’m running Monicahq on Pikapods. v. 4.1.2. I’ve entered my email address in the settings>General. After this email address it says “This is the email used to login, and this is where Monica will send your reminders.” However, I’m getting no notifications.

I’ve tried looking in the monicahq manual. The documentation doesn’t appear to correspond to my version. I can’t find this in my instance: https://docs.monicahq.com/user-and-account-settings/notification-channels#anatomy-of-the-notification-channel-list

The documentation says it’s possible to send test notification:

https://docs.monicahq.com/user-and-account-settings/notification-channels#send-tests-and-logs

I can’t find a page where I can send a test notification on my instance.

How can I fix notifications? Any help gratefully received.

    I’m not familiar with Pikapods but Monica v4 has trouble with notifications. First you need to ensure it’s been configured right to even send a test email, this can be triggered with a command if you have access:

    php artisan monica:test-email

    Various Monica environment variables must be set to configure this, it should be in the docs somewhere if not I can fish my config out for you.

    Even once that’s working you’ll need Monica to run its regular jobs for sending notifications, there’s config for that too. Finally the code has bugs and will often miss reminders in my experience. There are some open bugs still on this and I guess the devs have moved onto their rewritten version (chandler):
