Notifications and the Action Center

What waits on you is in the Action Center; heads-ups are notifications. Choose how and when you hear.

whodo keeps two lists apart:

  • The Action Center holds what waits on you: an offer to answer, a booking to confirm, answers to compare, a payment to record. Something leaves it when it's done, wherever it's done.
  • Notifications (the bell) are heads-ups about what happened. Reading one never changes anything.

The Action Center

  1. Tap Action Center in the menu. My whodo also shows the first three under Needs your attention.
  2. Each card says what's needed, who it's from and, when it matters, by when. Tap its button to go straight to it.
  3. Whose filters the list: All, You, or one of your businesses.

It brings together your own deals and every business you work for, as far as your role there allows.

Invitations and estimates

Some things sent to your email show up here too, once your email is confirmed, so you don't need to find the email:
- An invitation to an event: tap Answer, say if you're coming, and send it.
- An invitation to join a business's team: tap Decide, then join it or tap No thanks.
- A repair estimate waiting for your yes or no: tap See the estimate.
- A price for your custom order, or a quote for a visit sent to your email: tap See the price or See the quote. whodo opens it on the business's page with a fresh link, even if the email is long gone.

Things that come due

  • A task on a project or an event that's yours to do: tap Open the project or Open the event. Ticked done, it leaves the list.
  • A marketplace deal handed over in the last 14 days: tap Rate it to give the other side stars. Each side rates once.
  • A credential of yours that ends in the next 30 days, or ended in the last 30: tap Add the new one. It leaves the list once the new one is in.
  • In a business: a deposit to give back by hand (a card deposit goes back by itself), Give it back opens it on the calendar, where you tap Mark given back; a quote a customer accepted without a time, Book it on the customer's page; and the business's own credentials ending (owners and managers).

Sharing the work in a business

An owner or manager can set Who does it on a card: the person it's given to sees Assigned to you, and everyone else sees who has it. A card nobody has goes to everyone whose role can do it.

Notifications

Tap the bell to see them, newest first. Several about the same thing are grouped (3 updates). Mark all read clears the count. Each one opens the exact thing it's about.

In a business, what you hear about follows your role: with a role of the business's own, only the pages you have (a new order reaches the order book's people; a card payment, the order book's and Payments'; a new review, Reviews'). The owner's role editor shows what each role is Notified about:.

Choose how you hear

Go to Account, then the Notifications tab. For each kind (orders and bookings, offers and requests, messages, reviews, problems, your things, your business, businesses you follow, account and security, news from whodo) choose:

  • In whodo: always kept in your notifications.
  • Push: to your phone or computer, Right away or as a Daily summary (8 a.m.).
  • Email.

Sign-ins and security messages are always on: you need these. News from whodo is off unless you turn it on, and so are referral emails (a month of whodo, a thank-you code): you still see those here and on your phone.

Quiet hours

Turn on Use quiet hours and set From and Until: nothing is pushed to your devices during those hours. It waits in your notifications.

Push on this device

To get pushes on a phone or computer, allow notifications when whodo asks on that device (from Account, or the prompt on My whodo).
