Buenro uses a smart notification system to keep you updated on what matters — from booking changes to curator responsibilities. These notifications are delivered at the right time and tailored to your role in the group.



1. Types of Notifications

Buenro currently supports:

  • Push notifications (via Firebase Cloud Messaging)

  • In-app alerts (visible via the 🔔 bell icon)

  • Email notifications (to your registered address)

Each message is routed based on the event type and your user role, ensuring you get only what’s relevant to you.


2. ⏰ When You’ll Receive Notifications

You’ll be notified when there’s a change in your booking, group, or curator status. Below are the most common scenarios:

Trigger Event

Who Gets Notified

Booking is confirmed or expires

Curator, Guests (who paid)

A room is claimed or unclaimed

Curator, Guests

You're invited or removed from a group

The affected Guest

You're assigned as Curator

You

Booking is at risk of cancellation

All Guests (24-hour window)

Someone joins via shared Timeline

Curator

A guest cancels or drops out

Curator, and possibly other Guests

Curator cancels

Entire group (with refund breakdown)


3. Notification Rules by Role

Role

Curator

All booking updates, guest actions, group risks

Guest (paid)

4. Where to Find Notifications

  • 🔔 In-App: Tap the bell icon to view recent alerts

  • 📧 Email: Check your inbox for booking and group updates

  • 📱 Push: Make sure notifications are enabled in your device settings

Deep links in notifications will take you directly to the relevant screen in the app.


6. Can I Manage My Notifications?

Currently, notification settings are not user-configurable. Notifications are sent automatically based on your role and actions. We’re working on more flexible settings in a future update.

If you believe you missed a notification, or something looks wrong, contact Support and we’ll investigate.
