Use alerts to ensure that your entire staff stays on track and up-to-date. --- ### #### Who uses this feature - Office employees - Applies to all business types - Applies to all trades ## Things to know - Alerts can be sent through text messages, emails, or both. - You can set up alerts for many things, including but not limited to: - Job status changes - Email delivery failures and calls left abandoned or unbooked - Form completion - Sold estimates - When creating an alert, all conditions applied to it must be met for it to trigger.
