Contractor Notification Settings

Modified on Wed, 17 Sep at 2:51 PM

In Rave you can adjust your own project notification settings. This allows you to control the volume and type of notifications received via:

Rave Notifications (Alerts)
External Email Notifications (sent to your email inbox)

Contractors now have choice/control on what emails and/or internal notficaitons they wish to receive per Branch they belong to. Reminder a Branch is the building company/Rave Client that invites the contractor to use Rave with them

NOTE: All Contractors can update their own notifications based on what they have been given access to. If a given user can not see a particular notification switch - they haven't been given access to that permission.

NOTE: For users Like Contractors who have access to multiples different Branches (Rave Clients) they can choose which notifications they want on or off per Branch simply by using the branch switcher Icon on their Notification Page. This is also available for Cross Branch users where a single person has access to more than one Rave Account

Note: In order for notifications to be able to go out the Branch must have then turned on at either a branch level or Project Level first. This will always override the ability to see them in your profile. Example if the branch turned off task starting reminders then they will Not be able to go out even if you turn them on for that branch.

To get started click on the circle icon to the top right of the screen

then select Profile Settings - Notification Control.

This will navigate you to the settings page
