Why your team might not be getting notifications when bookings are added manually

If your team is receiving alerts when clients book online, but not when a team member adds a booking manually, it’s likely due to the team member’s notification settings.

This article will help you understand why this happens and how to fix it so your team gets notified about all booking changes, no matter who made them.

Why this happens

Each team member can customise when they get booking notifications. By default, notifications are usually set to only trigger when a client makes a change. This means if a team member manually creates, reschedules or cancels a booking, other team members won’t get notified unless the settings are updated.

How to fix it

To make sure your team gets alerts for all booking changes - whether made by a client or a team member - follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Team members

  2. Select the team member’s name

  3. Click the Notifications tab

  4. Under Booking notifications, change the setting from By client to By anyone

This tells Bookem to send alerts for changes made by anyone - clients or team members

What happens next

Once this setting is changed, that team member will start receiving notifications for any booking changes involving them - including bookings added manually by someone on your team.
