Send test sends you a notification. Check the bell to confirm that notifications work.

Reminders are created by the background worker every minute by default, and never twice for the same appointment or follow-up. If reminders don't arrive, check that the worker is running.

These are in-app notifications. Emails are sent only for sign-in codes, password resets, invitations, portal confirmations and reports.
