Once you enter the correct code, the app will take you to the main screen. - Allow access to notifications
When the main screen opens, the app will ask for permission to show notifications. These Notifications are essential for GroupCal to show you reminders and to keep your calendar updated in real time.Allowing the app to show notifications is vital to fully utilize the app.

The browser may show a dialog box with the request or it may only show a small indication at the top, indicating that an action is needed. If you see such an indication, click on it and allow the app to present notifications.
