Before you start
- Preferences are personal: what you change only affects your user. Each teammate sets up their own.
- You only get alerts for accounts you can access. If your user can only see assigned data, you won't get alerts for contacts that aren't assigned to you.
- To get browser notifications, your browser must allow notifications from Elooo System.
Where to find it
Settings › My Profile › Notifications
Step by step
Choose alerts and channels
- In the left menu, open Settings and click My Profile.
- In the profile's left-hand menu, click Notifications.
- Go through the categories: conversations and assigned messages, tasks and reminders, daily summaries of due or overdue tasks, appointments and calendar, reviews.
- For each alert, turn on the channels you want:
- In-App: shows in the Elooo System bell while you work.
- Desktop: a browser or desktop app notification.
- Email: sent to your user's email address.
- Mobile: a push notification in the mobile app.
- SMS: sent to the phone number in your profile (when available).
- Turn off alerts you don't need to cut down the noise.
- Click Save.
Useful conversation alerts
- Notify when a conversation gets assigned to me: tells you when a conversation becomes yours.
- Notify for new messages on a conversation I am assigned to: tells you each time the customer replies.
- Notify for all new conversations & messages: tells you about everything that comes in (handy for whoever triages).
- Notify when I am mentioned: tells you when a teammate mentions you in a conversation.
Allow browser notifications
- With Elooo System open, click the padlock icon next to the address in your browser bar.
- Under Notifications, choose Allow.
- Reload the page.
Tips
- Clicking an in-app notification takes you straight to the related conversation, task or appointment.
- From the notification bell you can mark all as read or clear the list. Cleared notifications can't be restored.
- Website live chat uses the same preferences as conversations; there are no separate settings.
Common problems
- I get the same notification twice → Two rules apply to the same message (for example, "assigned conversation" and "new message"). Turn one off and save.
- I don't get notifications for some contacts → Your user is limited to assigned data or doesn't have access to that account. Ask your admin to review your permissions in Settings › My Staff.
- No browser notifications appear → Your browser is blocking them. Allow notifications for Elooo System from the padlock in the address bar and check that the Desktop channel is on.
- Notification emails don't arrive → Check your spam folder and make sure the Email channel is on for that alert.
