Notification Enhancements - Add a Status as a Criteria
With adding a status, this means you can now customize your notifications to keep you in the loop when specific job statuses, such as "Not started," "In progress," "On Hold," "Done," or "Cancelled," are reached. Adding a status to your notification rules will be another way to get even more flexibility, priorization, control and focus on your operations. Job status notifications don't just save time; they make everything more streamlined. This means your team can focus on important tasks, while stakeholders always stay in the know about how things are going with your property. You’ll be able to receive notifications for jobs:
- "Not Started": Receive immediate notifications when jobs are yet to be started, allowing you to ensure that nothing is overlooked or delayed.
- "In Progress": Stay updated in real-time as jobs continue to progress, enabling you to monitor progress and allocate resources effectively.
- "On Hold": Get notified as soon as a job is put on hold, enabling you to address any issues or bottlenecks promptly.
- "Done": Be aware of successful job completions with notifications that keep you informed when a jobs are finished to your satisfaction.
- "Cancelled": Stay in control even when jobs are canceled, receiving notifications to understand the reasons behind cancellations and to reassign work as needed.
Notification Enhancements - Additional Event Trigger
With the introduction of two new triggers, "After Status Change" and "After Creation," joining our existing "Before Due Time" and "After Due Time" triggers for jobs, Optii is dedicated to enhancing hotel operations for greater efficiency. This means you can say goodbye to the hassle of constant check-ups and manual oversight of jobs. With these type of notifications, you'll have a clearer picture of what's happening on your property, optimizing job management
