Communications & Notifications

Automatic emails and real-time alerts keep customers and staff in sync.

  • Automatic email confirmations for new bookings
  • Invoice delivery by email with PDF attachment
  • Booking cancellation emails sent automatically

Real-Time In-App Alerts

New bookings and important updates appear as real-time notifications inside your dashboard. The notification bell shows unread alerts at a glance, so you never miss a new booking or status change — even if you're already working in the system.

  • Real-time notification bell in the dashboard
  • Instant alerts for new bookings
  • Read and unread tracking for each notification
  • Click any notification to jump straight to the relevant record
