JustUs Push Notification Setup

For Pilot Ministry Leaders — iPhone & Android

Pilot Quick-Start

Follow these steps once to receive real-time alerts when seekers request pastoral follow-up. Takes about 2 minutes. You only need to do this setup one time.

Before you begin — use the right browser

  • iPhone: Use Safari only. Do NOT use DuckDuckGo — it blocks notifications.
  • Android: Use Chrome.

iPhone Setup (Safari)

~2 minutes, one time only

1

Open Safari & go to the app

Open the Safari app (not Chrome, not DuckDuckGo). Type this address into the URL bar:

www.ibicw.com
2

Log in to your account

Tap Log In in the footer. Sign in with the email and password you used when joining the pilot. You'll land on your Ministry Hub dashboard.

3

Allow notifications when prompted

A popup will ask: "JustUs Wants to Send You Notifications". Tap Allow. If you don't see the popup, tap the Share icon (square with up arrow) in Safari's toolbar, scroll down and tap Notifications, then tap Allow.

4

Add to Home Screen (recommended)

Tap the Share icon at the bottom of Safari. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen. This creates an app icon on your phone so you can open JustUs with one tap — and it keeps you logged in.

✓

You're done — test it

Ask your pilot coordinator to send a test push. When it arrives, tap it — it should open straight to your Ministry Hub. No login required.

Android Setup (Chrome)

~2 minutes, one time only

1

Open Chrome & go to the app

www.ibicw.com
2

3

Allow notifications when prompted

A popup will ask permission to send notifications. Tap Allow. If you miss it, tap the three dots menu in Chrome's top right, tap Permissions, and enable notifications.

4

Add to Home Screen (recommended)

Tap the three dots menu in Chrome's top right. Tap Add to Home screen. This creates an app icon and keeps you logged in for instant access.

✓

You're done — test it

Ask your pilot coordinator to send a test push. Tap it — it should open straight to your Ministry Hub.

Troubleshooting

No notification arrived?Make sure you used Safari (iPhone) or Chrome (Android) — DuckDuckGo and Firefox block push notifications.
Asked to log in again?Make sure you're opening the app from the home screen icon or typing www.ibicw.com — not a different web address.
Never got the permission popup?On iPhone, tap the AA or aA icon in Safari's URL bar, tap Notifications, then tap Allow.
