Notifications
The bell icon in the top bar is your in-app notification center — alerts for you, delivered live while you work.
What you're notified about
Invoice status changes — an invoice hitting a status you care about creates an alert like "Invoice INV-0042 marked Paid", linking straight to the invoice. Fires whether the change came from you, a teammate, a recorded payment, or a completed Stripe checkout — that last one means "you got paid" news reaches you the moment it happens.
Warranty alerts — "Warranty expiring: 2021 Ford Transit" when an asset's warranty enters your warning window. See Warranty and service alerts.
Using the bell
- The badge counts unread alerts; the dropdown shows your recent history
- Click an alert to jump to the invoice or asset (it's marked read on the way)
- Mark all read clears the slate
- Notifications arrive live — no refresh needed
Choosing what you hear about
Settings → Notifications, under In-app notifications:
- Invoice statuses — check any of Draft, Sent, Paid, Partial, Overdue, Cancelled. Defaults are Paid and Overdue — the money-in and money-late moments. Solo operators often stop there; teams add Sent to keep everyone aware of what's gone out.
- Warranty window — how far ahead to be warned: 7 to 90 days.
Notifications vs. the other kinds of email
These are three different systems, all set up separately:
| Audience | Where | |
|---|---|---|
| Notifications (this page) | You and your team | The bell, in-app |
| Reminder emails | Your clients | Their inbox |
| Emails from Velosiq | You | Your inbox |
One thing worth knowing: the in-app settings on this page are business-wide — change them and they change for your whole team. The email settings below them are personal to you.
