iAgentify tells you when something needs your attention: a new lead, a customer asking to talk to a person, credits running out, a failed payment or a channel that stops working. Each notice arrives in two ways, inside the app and by email, and each person chooses their own under Settings › Notifications.
Which notices there are
| Notice | When it is sent | Who receives it |
|---|---|---|
| The trial is about to end | A few days before the free trial ends, once | Owners and admins |
| Credits are running low | The balance is low compared with the credits of your plan or of the trial. It is sent once and not repeated until credits are added | Owners and admins |
| Out of credits | The balance reaches zero or no longer covers one reply, and your agents stop replying. It is sent once, until credits are added | Owners and admins |
| Payment failed | The subscription renewal could not be charged, or there is no valid card to charge it to | Owners and admins |
| Subscription changes | A plan is activated, the trial ends, a downgrade or a cancellation is scheduled or undone, or the subscription ends or expires | Owners and admins |
| New lead | An agent, or the contact form of your website chat, collects a customer’s details | Owners, admins and members |
| A customer asks for a person | An agent hands a conversation to a person, because the customer asks for it or because its rules say so | Owners, admins and members |
| Support reply | The iAgentify team answers a ticket | Whoever opened the ticket. If they are no longer on the team, owners, admins and members |
| Problem with a channel | A WhatsApp or Instagram connection stops working | Owners and admins |
How they reach you
In the app. The bell icon, Notifications, shows how many notices you have not read. Opening it shows the latest ones, lets you press Mark all as read and, with View all, takes you to the Notifications page. On that page you can see only the pending ones with the Unread filter and tick each one off with Mark as read. Pressing a notice takes you to what it is about: for example, the lead, the conversation or Billing. Each person has their own list: a colleague reading a notice does not mark it as read for you.
By email. Emails go to the address you sign in to iAgentify with, in the language you have under Settings › Profile › Dashboard language.
Choose your notices
The preferences are yours: each person on the team has their own, and if you belong to several accounts, you have a separate set in each. To begin with, every notice is switched on both ways.
Go to Settings and open the Notifications tab. You can also go straight to Settings › Notifications (opens the app), or get there from the Notifications page with the Preferences button.
In the Notifications section, find the notice you want to change. They are grouped under Billing and credits, Conversations and leads and Support and integrations.
Switch its two toggles on or off: Email and In-app.
To change a whole column in one go, use the checkbox at the head of the column. On a phone it is called All by email and All in-app.
Press Save changes. You get “Notification preferences saved”.
Until you save, the screen says “You have unsaved changes.” and you can go back to how it was with Discard changes.
What each role receives
Having a notice switched on is not enough: some are only sent to certain roles.
- Owner and Admin receive all of them.
- Member receives New lead, A customer asks for a person and the support replies to the tickets they opened. The screen tells them so: “Billing, credit and channel notices are only sent to the owners and admins of the account.”
- Read only receives no notices: “With the read-only role you do not receive account notices. These preferences will apply if your role changes.”
What else changes with the role is in team roles.
Emails that are not notices
These emails do not appear in the preferences and cannot be switched off. They are sent whenever they are needed:
- The email to verify your address when you create the account.
- The email to reset your password.
- The invitation to join a team.
- The receipt for each payment. It goes to the Billing email you give under Settings › Company, in Billing details; if you leave it empty, to the owner’s email.
If the emails do not arrive
Look in your spam folder. If they are there, mark them as safe.
Check the address. Under Settings › Notifications, the Notifications section says “Emails go to…” with your address. It is the email you sign in with; to change it, see change the email you sign in with.
Check your preferences. The Email toggle for that notice has to be on, and the changes saved.
Check your role. A member does not receive billing, credit or channel notices, and someone with the read-only role receives none.
Remember the notices that are sent only once. Credits are running low and Out of credits are not repeated until credits are added.
If the notice shows up under the bell but not in your email and none of the above explains it, open a ticket from Support with the type of notice and the approximate time.
