Notifications and Notification Center

Manage alerts from across your account in one place. Review new notifications, archive old ones, and control how and where you receive updates.

Written by Zack Swindale

The Notification Center centralizes all alerts related to Help Requests, Refunds, Feedback, Voice Messages, Equipment activity, Wallet events, and account management.
From here, you can quickly review system-generated events and customize how you'd like to receive them (web inbox, email, or SMS).


Accessing the Notification Center

You can open your Notification Center anytime by selecting the bell icon at the top of your screen.
A badge count displays how many new notifications are waiting.


Inbox & Archived Tabs

Notifications are organized into two sections:

Inbox

Your Inbox shows all active, unarchived notifications. Each entry includes:

  • A short description of the event

  • A timestamp

  • A link to take action (when applicable)

  • An option to archive the notification

Common examples:

  • Help Request received or closed

  • Refund requests received, canceled, or unclaimed

  • Equipment syncing failures or limit warnings

  • Wallet low-fund alerts or deposits

  • Subscription billing issues

  • Email delivery failures

Archived

The Archived tab stores notifications you've cleared from your Inbox.
This view is helpful for reviewing past alerts or performing a full cleanup.
You can also permanently delete all archived notifications from this tab.


Managing Personal Notification Settings

Each user manages their own notification preferences under Account Settings → Notifications.
These settings apply only to your user account and do not affect others within your organization.

You can enable or disable notifications sent through:

  • Web (Inbox) – Shows alerts inside the Notification Center

  • Email – Sends alerts to your account email

  • SMS – Sends alerts to your registered phone number

If a channel is turned off, you won't receive notifications through that method for any event type.


Notification Categories

Each event category can be individually configured for SMS, Web, and Email delivery.

Help Requests

  • Help Received

  • Help Closed

Refund Requests

  • Refund Received

  • Refund Unclaimed

  • Refund Canceled

Feedback

  • Feedback Received

Voice Messages

  • Voice Message Received

General

  • Note Mentions

  • User Management Alerts

  • End of Day Summary

Activities

  • Subscription Activities: Billing issues

  • Wallet Activities: Low funds and deposit events

  • Equipment Activities: Sync and equipment-limit events

Toggle each category on or off based on your preferences and workflow.


How Notifications Work

  • When an event occurs in your account (e.g., a help request arrives), ZippyAssist generates a notification.

  • The notification is delivered through the channels you've enabled.

  • Web notifications appear in your Notification Center until you manually clear or archive them.

  • Email and SMS notifications are sent instantly when enabled.

This allows users to tailor the system to match their role, availability, and urgency needs.
