Team notifications are internal alerts that keep your staff informed about important events and updates, such as customer arrivals, cancellations, or status changes. These notifications ensure that your team stays organized and responsive, helping them manage workflows efficiently and deliver timely service to customers.

Designed to improve team communication, these notifications can be automated and configured to notify the appropriate staff members at the right time, reducing the need for manual updates and ensuring that tasks are handled promptly.

Examples of Team Notifications

  1. New Customer Alerts: Notifies staff when a customer joins the waitlist or books an appointment.

  2. Arrival Notifications: Alerts the team when a customer has checked in, ensuring they’re ready to serve.

  3. Cancellation Notices: Informs staff when a customer cancels, allowing them to reassign tasks or adjust schedules.

  4. Delay Alerts: Sends notifications when a customer notifies Waitwhile that they are running late or delayed.

  5. Appointment Changes: Alerts staff about rescheduled bookings prevent missed appointments.
