Explaining each Team Notification in Brindlechute

Team notifications keep your staff informed about bookings, payments, assignments, and permits—so nothing slips through the cracks.

Team notifications keep you and your staff on top of bookings, payments, guide assignments, and permits. They go to the users in your organization. Here's every team notification, grouped by what it's for. To edit or turn one off, click your organization name at the top of the left sidebar, click Notifications, then open the Team tab.

Good to know

  • Some team notifications are email only: Missing Outfitter Permit Alert, Daily Outfitter Summary, Daily Location Usage Permit Compliance Summary, Client Email Bounced Alert, Auto Assign Failed, Unpaid After Payment Reminders, and both Trip Manager notifications. For the others, use the Send via dropdown on the Team tab to choose Email, SMS, or both.

  • "—" means the notification always sends and its wording can't be changed.

  • Each team member can choose what they get. Team members can turn individual notifications off for themselves without changing them for your organization. See Customize Your Notification Preferences as a Team Member.
