For now, MetaMask doesn’t notify you when you receive a token in your wallet. This raises an important question.
How do I get notified when a token enters my wallet?
The answer to that is Ping! Ping by Grindery is a tool that sends you a browser notification when a token is deposited to any of your wallets on any blockchain. It’s easy, seamless and completely free.
Connect
Go to ping.grindery.org and click Connect Wallet. Then, sign the Signature Request on MetaMask.
Test
Check the top of your browser, you should see a message: Your browser notifications seem to be activated. Click here to test. Do that to get ‘Pinged’ and confirm everything is working!!! You should receive a demo notification.
Done!
Thereafter, turn on the notification for the wallet address as shown in the figure below. You can also add more wallet addresses and decide whether to turn on or off notifications for any of the wallets.
