**Steps to reproduce** 1. Enable browser push notifications for User A. 2. Set User A’s notification level for Category A to “Watching First Post”. 3. Log in as User B (in incognito) and post in Category A (Post A) Expected: User A would receive a browser push notification for Post A. Actual: User A receives no browser push notification. Notifications (i.e. in the user menu) and email alerts work as expected. **Likely Cause** In the `PostAlerter` `notify_first_post_watchers` passes `Notification.types[:watching_first_post]` as the `type` to `create_notification`: [discourse/app/services/post\_alerter.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/services/post_alerter.rb#L133) `create_notification` restricts the creation of notification alerts to `NOTIFIABLE_TYPES` which does not include `:watching_first_post`: [discourse/app/services/post\_alerter.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/services/post_alerter.rb#L196) This may be intentional, however reading through [this discussion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/actual-difference-between-tracked-and-watching-first-post/61036), I suspect not? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/watching-first-post-does-not-send-push-notifications/105124)._
