A team out in the field cannot watch the dashboard all day. With push notifications, Leaxio tells you the moment something important happens, even if the app is not open: a rental about to expire, a payment received, a product low on stock. And if you have not logged in to Leaxio yet, a daily email summary tells you how the day looks.
What changes
- Before: you found out about an overdue rental or low stock when you opened Leaxio and checked.
- Now: the alert arrives on its own, in your browser, when it happens.
- What stays the same: nothing is forced on. Each person on the team chooses their alerts and channels.
Which alerts you can receive
- Rentals about to expire: 1 or 2 days before a rental expires.
- Overdue rentals: when a rental is already overdue.
- Low stock: when a product's inventory is low.
- Payments received: when a payment is recorded.
- Invited members: when you are invited to an organization.
- General information, warnings and errors: system notices, by importance.
The channels
- Push notifications: real-time alerts in the browser. The first time, the browser asks for permission.
- Email notifications: operational summaries by email, such as the daily summary and low-stock alerts. It does not turn off account emails, such as a failed payment, the end of the trial or a cancellation.
- Daily email summary: if 20 minutes after your opening time you have not logged in to Leaxio yet, you receive a summary of the day's deliveries, preparation and returns.
How to turn it on
- Go to Settings → Profile and open the Notifications tab. These preferences are personal.
- Check the alert types you want and the channel you want them on.
- Click Save changes.
If you have not turned them on yet, Leaxio shows a notice with Turn on notifications and Later. One click and accepting the browser permission is enough.
If you blocked notifications in the browser, Leaxio cannot turn them on for you. Enable them from the site settings and try again. If your browser does not support them, try another one.
Your opening time
The daily summary is calculated from your business opening time, which you set in Organization settings, under Hours. Adjust it if you open later or earlier than usual.
Tips
- Turn on notifications on the phone of whoever goes out to deliver: they benefit most from an alert on time.
- Leave the daily summary to whoever opens the business, and low-stock alerts to whoever buys.
- If you get too many alerts, turn off the types you do not use instead of ignoring them all.
