Notifications Setup & Configuration

Notifications (f.k.a. My Alerts) are alerts (via email or push) that the system sends to you. Also, If you have Staff under Team Access, they can also be allowed to receive notifications for your account. Guests do not get these notifications.

Notifications are located in your Profile dropdown menu (top right corner). You can have access to more than one account, and the Notifications you wish to receive are tied to them, not the account. Notifications received will reflect your Culture configurations, such as date formats and currencies.

As of June 2024, Notifications can be received via browser push notifications. On mobile, this is supported using the OwnerRez PWA (progressive web app).

You will continue to receive important in-app announcements. Still, we want to make sure you're in the know about all the latest OwnerRez features, enhancements, and partnerships, which are regularly covered in our Product UpdatesPartnerships, Webinars, and Internal News blog posts. Also, if they're configured to receive notifications, these new Blog Post email notifications also apply to Team Access members.

While suddenly receiving these new OwnerRez email notifications may seem overwhelming initially, we encourage everyone to keep those email notifications turned on for at least a month or so to get accustomed to the number and type of OwnerRez Blog Post notifications coming your way via email. 

Want to customize your Notifications? Navigate to your Profile dropdown menu > Notifications, and you can configure all your OwnerRez notifications as either email, push notifications, or a combination of both. The choice is up to you and depends on what works best for your workflow!

NOTE: If the user is a Portal user and only a Portal user, they will not have Notifications in their Profile menu, as Notifications do not pertain to them as a Portal user.

Multiple Accounts

Below, Notifications defaults to the account you own or the first account you had access to.
