Getting started
How do I add my Gmail account?
Choose Add account and type your Gmail address. NotiSpark opens Google’s sign-in page so you can allow access. You can also use a Google app password.
How do I add Outlook, Hotmail or Office 365?
Type your address in Add account. NotiSpark fills in Microsoft’s settings for you.
My provider is not listed. Can I still use it?
Yes. Any provider with IMAP works. Pick “Other” and type the incoming (IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) server names from your provider’s help page.
Can I move my settings to a new computer?
Yes. Use Settings → Backup and restore. The backup is encrypted; add a passphrase if you will restore it on another computer.
How do I bring my mail from my old email app?
In NotiSpark Mail on your computer, open Settings › Accounts (or Settings › Import & export) and choose “Bring my mail from another app”. It brings emails, contacts, calendar and signatures from Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail and Evolution into your email account. Nothing goes to NotiSpark's servers, and your old app stays as it is.
Advanced Read Receipts
Why is an email marked opened right after I sent it?
Some services, like Apple Mail, load pictures automatically. NotiSpark marks these opens so you can tell them apart.
Why does an email stay unopened?
The reader’s mail app may block pictures. The email is marked opened as soon as pictures are shown.
How many emails get read receipts?
3 a day on the free plan. On Pro and Business, every email.
Plans and billing
How do I upgrade?
Sign in to your account on notispark.com and choose a plan. The app picks up your new plan within a few minutes.
How do I cancel?
Go to your account page and choose Cancel plan. You keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for.
Where are my receipts?
On your account page, under Billing.
Devices and account
How do I remove an old computer or phone?
Open your account page, find the device under Devices and choose Remove. It signs out the next time it checks in.
I forgot my NotiSpark password.
Use “Forgot password” on the sign-in page and we will email you a link to choose a new one.
How do I turn on two-step sign-in?
On your account page, under Security, turn on Two-step sign-in. We will email you a code each time you sign in.
How do I delete my NotiSpark account?
Sign in on notispark.com, open your account and choose Delete account at the bottom of the page. Cancel a paid plan first. The full steps, what is deleted and what we keep are at notispark.com/delete-account/.
Phone security
How do I lock NotiSpark on my phone?
In the NotiSpark app open Settings → Security & privacy → Lock NotiSpark. Choose a separate NotiSpark PIN (recommended: it protects your email even if someone knows your phone’s PIN) or your phone’s own lock. You can also hide email content in notifications, so codes and messages don’t show on the lock screen.
I forgot my NotiSpark PIN. How do I get back in?
For your safety a PIN can’t be reset from the website. Uninstall and reinstall NotiSpark, sign in again and add your email accounts: your mail stays with your email provider and downloads again.
My phone was lost or stolen. What should I do?
1. On notispark.com open your account → Devices and remove the phone; NotiSpark stops on it. 2. From another device, change the passwords of the email accounts that were on the phone (Google, Microsoft or your provider) and check their recovery options. 3. If your phone had a NotiSpark PIN, your email in NotiSpark stays locked.
NotiSpark Sync
How do I turn on NotiSpark Sync?
Open Settings → NotiSpark Sync on a computer or phone and switch on NotiSpark Sync. It is included with Pro and Business and during your free trial.
How do I add another computer or phone?
Install NotiSpark, sign in and turn on sync on the new device. Then, on a device you already use, check that the 6-digit code matches and approve it. Your signatures, rules, contacts and more appear within a minute.
Why does my new device ask for my email passwords?
Email passwords are never synced, so each new device asks for them once. You can also take them from your own backup file.
I lost every device. Can I get my synced settings back?
Yes, if you kept your one-time recovery code: use it to get back in. Without the code and without any of your devices, the synced copy cannot be recovered, because only your devices hold the key.
How do I stop syncing and delete my synced data?
Choose Delete my synced data in Settings → NotiSpark Sync, or in your account area on notispark.com. Your devices keep their own settings.
NotiSpark AI
What is a credit?
A credit pays for one small AI action. A summary, a reply draft, a rewrite or a writing check uses 1 credit. A question to the assistant uses 1, a little more for a very long text, and a briefing usually uses 2 or 3. The app shows how many actions you have left.
What happens when I run out?
NotiSpark AI pauses and a friendly note tells you when your monthly credits come back. You can buy a credit pack at any time, and on your computer you can use the AI that runs on it in the meantime. Nothing is ever charged automatically.
Is my email stored?
No. The email or text you ask about passes through our server to the AI company, and the answer comes straight back to you. We never store either one, not even in our logs. We keep only a record of each action, such as the date, the task, the credits and the size of the text, and you can see your credit history in your account on notispark.com.
Can I get a refund for a credit pack?
Yes, within 14 days of buying it, as long as you haven’t used any credits from that pack. Credits you have used can’t be refunded. Monthly credits and the welcome gift are free, so there is nothing to refund. The terms of service have the details.
How do I stop using NotiSpark AI?
In NotiSpark Mail, open the AI settings and choose the AI on your computer or your own AI account instead, or turn NotiSpark AI off. Nothing more is sent, and your credits stay in your account for later.
Still stuck?
Write to us and a real person will answer, usually within one working day.
