Notifications: email, the bell and your phone

Which events notify you, turning on notifications in your browser, installing the portal, and the bell.

A couple books the vendor who answers first far more often than the cheapest one, so The Veil tells you the moment something needs you.

What notifies you

Under Settings, Notifications, three switches, all on by default:

  • New inquiries: a couple asks about your services. Email and push.
  • Couple replies: a couple responds in an existing conversation.
  • Bookings confirmed: a couple pays one of your invoices.
Notifications with New inquiries, Couple replies and Bookings confirmed all switched on
Notifications with New inquiries, Couple replies and Bookings confirmed all switched on

Each switch saves as soon as you tap it. Each person on a team sets their own.

The bell

The bell at the top of the portal menu shows a count of what's new. Open it to see each notification; tap one to go straight to it. Clear all empties the list, and Leads opens Leads.

The bell open, listing new inquiries and replies with how long ago each arrived

Team invitations, support replies and updates on problems you reported also arrive here.

Notifications on your computer or phone browser

Under Notifications on this device, choose Turn on notifications and allow them when your browser asks. It then says it's on for this device, with Turn off on this device.

Notifications on this device with Turn on notifications
Notifications on this device with Turn on notifications
  • Turn it on separately on each computer or phone you use.
  • If you blocked notifications for the site earlier, the portal can't ask again. Allow them for theveilwedding.com in your browser settings.
  • If your browser can't show notifications, you still get an email for every new lead.

On iPhone: add the portal to your Home Screen

Apple only allows website notifications from the Home Screen. In Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, open the portal from there, and then Turn on notifications.

Install the portal

On a computer or an Android phone, Install the portal (in Settings and on Leads) adds it as an app that opens in its own window and keeps your notifications. Once installed, it says so.

Or use The Veil Vendors app

The phone app sends its own notifications for new leads and messages, and tapping one opens it. See The Veil Vendors app.

Good to know

  • New lead emails go to the contact email on your setup screen.
  • Turning New inquiries off stops both the email and the push for new leads.
