Event notifications alert you at the right time: an upcoming meeting, an action to take, an incoming call. So you never miss anything, without constantly checking your diary.

What are event notifications for?

Event notifications are powerful efficiency tools. They can be triggered in three situations:

  • when a user creates or modifies an event for someone else: the recipient gets a clickable notification;
  • when a reminder is scheduled, for example 30 minutes before a meeting;
  • when a module triggers an internal event, like an incoming call notification.

This module is in beta: its behaviour may still evolve.

How notifications work

Once the module is configured, a new sub-menu appears under Tools → Additional tools → Notifications. It lets each user authorise their browser to receive DoliPlus notifications.

Additionally, a button tests internal notifications: a message then appears at the bottom right of the page. This lets you verify everything is working.

Scheduling an event reminder

Authorised users can then set their own reminders for upcoming events. If they don’t have the rights, they can request them from an administrator.

Administrators have a dedicated console. They can assign reminders there and view all users’ reminders.

Configuring the module

Finally, support activates and configures the module. Administrators then get an additional tab to enable available options.

Why enable event notifications?

Constantly monitoring your diary wastes time and focus. Event notifications alert you when needed.

You benefit in three ways:

  • no forgetfulness: reminders arrive before deadlines;
  • increased responsiveness: incoming calls are signalled immediately;
  • smoother teamwork: assigned actions notify their recipient.
