What notifications will I receive when bidding in an auction?

When you are registered and/or bidding in an auction, you will receive various “reminders” over email automatically. If you have the Artsy mobile app downloaded and notifications are turned on, you will also receive push notifications. Text reminders are also available.

You will receive an email, text, and push notification for when you are outbid. Please note that for live sales, you will not receive any outbid notification during the live bidding portion of the sale.

For all Live Auction registrants, whether you have placed a bid or not, you will be notified over push and text at the start time of each auction. You will also be notified over email one hour before the auction will go live.

For bidders in live auctions, you will receive a “lot opening soon” push and text notification when the live bidding starts and an email when your lot is eight lots away from the auction block.

For bidders in timed, online-only auctions, you will receive a “sale ending soon” email 90 minutes before the auction end time, and push notifications one hour and also ten minutes before the auction end time.
