How do I choose which notifications a client gets?

Choose the messages each client gets, by email, text, WhatsApp or push.

Here's how to choose which messages a client gets, and how: by email, text, WhatsApp or push notification.

Change a client's notifications

  1. Tap Clients and open the client.

  2. Under Owner 1 info, tap Notifications.

  3. Choose Owner 1 or Owner 2 at the top.

  4. Under Channels, turn on Emails, SMS or WhatsApp.

  5. Turn off anything they shouldn't be sent, like Walk started.

  6. Tap the ✓ to save.

How it works

  • A message is only sent if it's on here and on for your whole company in Menu > Client notifications. The company setting always wins.

  • Push notifications are set by your client in their Walkies Journal app.

  • With both SMS and WhatsApp on, WhatsApp is tried first, and a text is sent if that doesn't work.

  • Some messages always go out, whatever these settings say: invoices being paid, refunds, credit notes, contracts, and appointments being booked, changed, cancelled, accepted or declined.

Plans

  • SMS and WhatsApp need Walkies Pro or Max.

  • Day before reminder for appointments needs Walkies Max.

Good to know

  • Clients you add by hand start with every channel off. Turn on at least Emails so they get their appointments, reports and invoices.

  • Clients who don't use the Walkies Journal app get everything by email, with links that open in a web browser, so make sure Emails is on for them.

  • Clients who join with a link, or that you import from contacts, start with emails on.

  • To change messages for everyone at once, use Menu > Client notifications.
