I tried that, but the notifications disappeared after flight day. And of course I didn't think to save my bag receipts so that I could look it up by bag number. Womp womp womp. Soooooo many lessons learned here...
As a side note, for whatever reason I never received any notifications about my bags at all on the flight AUS-ATL, only ATL-CLT.
