Notification events

The events that can notify you, their default channels, and the alerts that always go to the bell.

Configurable events

These appear as rows under Settings, Notifications, Events & channels, where the business decides the channels and the digest; each person then narrows them under their own Notification preferences.

EventFires whenDefault channels
Appointment BookedA booking is createdIn-app, email, push
Appointment CancelledA booking is cancelledIn-app, email, push
Import CompletedA customer, service or product import finishesIn-app, email
Membership Renewal ReminderA membership is about to expireIn-app, email

SMS and WhatsApp become available for an event once the provider is connected for your business.

Digest

For email only: Send each, Hourly summary or Daily summary. In-app and push are always immediate.

Always-on alerts

Some notices are not switchable, because they are about the account itself:

  • Unacknowledged alert escalated: an alert that needs acknowledgement was ignored for too long and has been raised to the owner.
  • Support access to your account has ended: a Shapzo support administrator who accessed your workspace with your permission has signed out of it.
  • Notification queue backlog: a delivery problem on the platform side, shown to owners.

Customer-facing messages, such as appointment reminders and gift card emails, are separate from these and are set under Settings, Scheduling and Settings, Gift Cards.
