Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the best setup for someone who checks the app frequently?
A: If you check the app often, In-App notifications may be enough. Disable email and push for non-critical items to reduce duplication.
Q: I manage multiple businesses. How should I set up notifications?
A: Prioritize differently per account. Use push for your most active business and email for others you check less frequently.
