Notifications

Receiving alerts when a contact needs your attention.

Using notifications, Bonomi will send you alerts whenever there are contacts that require your attention. Notifications can be received anytime, even though you are not on the platform.

Notification Channels

Notification Center

The Notification Center can be found in the top navigation bar of the platform. It is represented with bell and a number indicator. The number represents the unread count of notifications the user has.

Notification bar

When you press on it, the notification center will appear and it will list all your notifications sorted by time received. The unread notifications will have a slightly darker background than the others.

The notification center has 3 tabs namely New, Archived and All and their functions are as follows:-

• New - This tab lists all unread and unarchived notifications

• Archived - This tab lists all archived notifications

• All - This tab lists all notifications regardless of archived or unarchived

Notification Center

Archiving or Unarchiving a Notification

This Notification Center will also work as a task manager where users can archive or unarchive the tasks when necessary.

You can archive any task by hovering over the notification in the NEW tab and press on the x on the top right corner of the notification.

Alternatively, if you would like to archive all, you can do by pressing on ARCHIVE ALL on the top right of notification center.

If you accidentally archive a notification, you can unarchive the notification by doing the same in the ARCHIVED tab.

Desktop Notification

Whenever a user is away from the platform, desktop notifications can be sent to them via the browser.

We recommend using Google Chrome to enable your desktop notifications to ensure the reliability of the notifications' delivery!

Google Chrome

You can easily enable desktop notifications on Chromium based browsers (Chrome, Edge), by clickin on the lock icon in the URL bar.
