Notifications are how Shopmonkey can tell you when actions have been performed in your shop. Click on the Notifications tab, in the User Settings, to view the user's Notification Types. Click any checkbox to allow the user to receive notifications of that type:


Notification Types

Each Notification Type that is checked will be added to the user's notifications, meaning that whenever those actions are performed, the user will receive SMS, Email, and/or In-App notifications.

Message received from customer - When enabled the user will receive a notification each time a customer responds to a message.

Message sent to customer by teammate - When enabled the user will receive a notification when messages are sent to a customer from anyone in the shop. For more information on messages check out our help article.

Internal note added - When enabled the user will receive a notification when Internal notes are added to a conversation. For more information on Internal notes check out our help article.

Work Request received from customer - When enabled the user will receive a notification when a Work Request form has been filled out and submitted. For more information on Work Request forms, check out our help article.

Service assigned or unassigned - When enabled the user will receive a notification when a service has been assigned to a Tech or when a Tech has been unassigned to a service. For more information on Assignments check out our help article.

Labor item marked as completed / not completed - When enabled the user will receive a notification when a labor item has its status marked as “Completed” or changed from “Completed” to “Not Completed.”

Order / service authorized by customer - When enabled the user will receive a notification when a customer authorizes a service. For more information on authorizing services, check out our help article.
