Notify When Queue Completes - No Mobile Notification

Question

In After Effects, there’s an option called “Notify when queue completes” when rendering.
But I’m not sure how to use it, especially to get notifications on my phone.

I checked the Creative Cloud mobile app, but it looks like the mobile version has been discontinued by Adobe, so I can’t receive any notifications through that.

Is there any way to make this feature work, or is there an alternative method to get a notification on my phone when rendering is finished?

Thanks in advance!

This stuck with me and I ended up making a tutorial to explain how to set up Google Drive and Zapier to send an email when a render is complete:https://youtu.be/B3znsLfZ-bs

I'd recently been wondering the same thing and assumed I needed to interact more with the app, but it seems you're right. I still have the app on my phone and inside it, there are notifications, but yeah, I'm not getting push notifications either.

There is a script included in AE (File > Scripts) called Render and Email. Add your comp to the render queue, then run the script instead of rendering - and that should send you an email when the render is done. But you do need your own SMTP server.

Alternatively, if you fancy dabbling, you could create a script to run a Mac or Windows notification.

Or you couild sign up to a service like Pushover or Zapier and have an AE script interact with that.
