# Browser tab notifications

Browser tab notifications change the browser tab title after a customer switches away to another tab. Shoppers often open several stores at once and forget the one they left, so a short message in the tab is a way to pull their attention back, remind them of a promotion, or nudge them to finish what they started. You control whether the feature runs and what the messages say, and it costs nothing in page space because it never appears on the page itself.

### Where to find these settings <a href="#where-to-find-these-settings" id="where-to-find-these-settings"></a>

### Settings <a href="#settings" id="settings"></a>

| Settings                   | Description                                                                         |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Enable**                 | Turns the browser tab notification on or off for the whole store.                   |
| **First notification**     | The message shown first in the browser tab. Keep it short, browser tabs are narrow. |
| **Secondary notification** | The message shown second in the browser tab, after the first one.                   |

### What customers see <a href="#what-customers-see" id="what-customers-see"></a>

Nothing changes while the customer is looking at your store. Once they move to a different browser tab, the title of your tab is replaced by the text you entered, so your store stands out among the other tabs they have open. The two messages are just shown in the order you set them, First notification and then Secondary notification, so they are not tied to timing or to any condition. When the customer comes back to the tab, the normal page title returns.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://uxsmart.gitbook.io/velare/customize-your-pages/browser-tab-notifications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
