How to use the Notification Manager feature?


Users should be able to set their notification preference inside the Profile tab in Settings and receive notifications based on that via different channels. Clicking on a notification, the user is redirected to the screen to which the notification was sent.



Please Note:

A user does need to be added to a sub account to receive the notifications generated through this feature. If they have only assigned data permissions turned on, they cannot be notified about leads not assigned to them.



How to Add Users on a Sub-account

1. Under Agency Settings, look for Team.

2. Select the Pencil Icon right next to the name of the User.

3. Under Roles & Permissions, look for Sub-accounts.




4. On the Add Sub-accounts option, look for the Sub-account where you want the notification options to show and add it under that user's list of sub-accounts.



5. Scroll all the way down and click on Save after. Once done, go back to the sub-account and go to Settings. Look for My Profile and you'll see the Notification options from there.





Notification Channels:


Notifications can be sent via the following channels:


Web

A user can receive notifications within the desktop platform. By default, all notifications will be sent here.

FAQ

How does the mark all as read button in the notifications panel work now?

It changes the status of all the notifications from unread to read



How many notifications can I scroll through before it needs to load again?

You can scroll through 25 records before the notification panel loads the next 25.



What is the Clear All notification step do?

It clears out all notification records fetched for the user (who is logged in at that time when clicking the button) at the page level. If there are further notifications for the user after the button is clicked, we will populate those after the clear-all process. These cleared notifications cannot be restored.




What happens to notifications if:

Sub account gets deleted:

If a sub-account is deleted, users connected with it will stop receiving notifications from this sub-account. They will continue to receive notifications from other sub-accounts if they are added elsewhere as users.


The user gets deleted from the Sub Account only:

 If a user is deleted from the sub-account, the system will stop sending notifications for the account to them. However, the user will receive notifications for other sub-accounts with which he/she is still connected. 


The user gets deleted from the Agency level.

 If a user is deleted at the agency level, the system will stop sending notifications to the user for all sub-accounts.
