Stay Informed Without the Noise
Airflow gathers routine updates into one digest email with two lists: done, and needs attention. Things that need you straight away, such as a booking waiting for your confirmation, are emailed at once. The same notices appear in your portal.
How it works
Airflow does not email you once for every action. Routine events, such as a booking stored, a draft invoice created or a review imported, are collected into one digest email. The digest has two lists: what was done, and what needs your attention and how to fix it. It also tells you how many tasks you have left.
You choose how often the digest arrives. As things happen means shortly after the first event, then at most once an hour. Once a day means one email at the hour you pick.
Some things do not wait for the digest. A booking with missing details, a booking waiting for you to confirm, a lost accounting connection and running out of tasks are emailed straight away.
In Preferences you set each kind of event to Immediately, In the digest or Off. In the portal, the Messages page has a Notifications tab, a banner warns you when your tasks are running low, and the activity log lists what Airflow did.
Notices are sent by email and shown in the portal. There are no push notifications and no SMS alerts.

FAQ
Common questions about Smart Notifications
How does Airflow notify me?
By email and inside your portal. Routine events come in a digest, and anything that needs you now is emailed at once. There are no push notifications and no SMS alerts.
Will I be flooded with emails?
No. Routine events are grouped into one digest, sent at most once an hour or once a day. You can also switch off the kinds of event you do not want.
Who receives the notices?
The digest goes to the owners and admins of your account. With the Operations Management add-on, damage and issue reports are emailed to owners and managers.
