RentWeaveNotifications: the bell, and your phone
The bell in the top corner lists what has happened that needs you: a shift you have been given, a payment that came in, stock that is now short. If you turn on push notifications, the same news also reaches your phone when RentWeave is not open.
The bell is the record
The number on the bell is what you have not read. Open it to see the latest, unread first. Tapping a row marks it read and takes you to the booking or page it is about; Mark all read clears the lot.
Push is a convenience on top. If a push never arrives, the row is still in the bell. You are never told about something you did yourself, and you only hear about work that is still ahead of you (or within the last 7 days), not old history.
Turning push on, per device
Open the bell and choose Turn on notifications, or use the switch on Settings, My profile. Your browser asks permission once. It is per device: turn it on on your phone and on your laptop separately, and turning it off on one leaves the other alone. Changing or resetting your password turns push off on every device, so turn it back on where you want it.
On an iPhone, push only works for an app added to the Home Screen. In Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, open RentWeave from that icon, and turn notifications on there.
What each kind means
You only see the kinds your role and plan make relevant to you. Everything RentWeave can send:
- Short on stock
- Run assignment
- Crew assignment
- Task assignment
- Payment received
- Stock counts waiting
- Return overdue
- Tomorrow's bookings
Short on stock names the earliest affected booking and how many more there are. Stock counts waiting rolls up into one row with a running count, and sends one push until you read it. Overdue returns and tomorrow’s bookings arrive once a day, early in the morning (UTC); a day with nothing to say sends nothing. Assignment notices cover being added, moved, removed or cancelled on a shift, a run or a task. Casual crew have no login, so they are never notified.
Muting a kind
On Settings, My profile, untick a kind to stop pushes for it, or untick All notifications to stop every push at once and tick back the ones you want. Muting silences the push only. The row still lands in the bell, so nothing is lost; you just are not interrupted.
