Keeping Everyone in the Loop
MarginEdge has a feature that allows Restaurant Admins to select which users and/or roles receive notification emails. For restaurant groups, these emails can be customized for each unit.
Notification emails are sent automatically in specific situations:
- Account Updates
- Auto-Pay Confirmation
- Bill Pay Confirmation
- Bill Pay Returned Check
- Invoice image issues
- POS Disconnect
- Price alerts
- Daily sales data
- Unbalanced Journal Entry
- Unmapped Sales Entries
- Vendor Payment Confirmation Alert
- Vendor setup
To control notifications in the [me] app, please see this article: Push Notifications in the Mobile App
How to Start
To use the feature, go to SETUP > NOTIFICATIONS
This will bring you to the notifications page. If you have multiple restaurants, all your units will appear on this page. You have the option to "Manage Individually" if you want unique settings for each unit, or you can adjust the settings for all units at once using "Manage Combined".
On the left and side of the screen you'll see the different notifications we send out and can see which user roles or individual users will receive these emails.
REMOVING
To remove users or groups from any of the notification categories click the X next to their name/role:
ADDING
To add recipients to any notification category, click the + icon at the top right of the cell:
Customization: People and Roles
When adding new people to any notification, you can select to add either individual named users, or specific roles (such as image uploader, manager, accountant, etc.):
If you want all users to receive a specific email, add by role and select “All Users.”
If you have multiple restaurants and want to set your users/roles across all restaurant units, click the “Add to all Restaurants” box:
Note: This option will include all restaurants currently in MarginEdge. If you subsequently bring on a new restaurant, the unit is not automatically added to “all Restaurants,” so you will have to set up the unit at that time.
Troubleshooting: Not Receiving Emails
If any user has opted out of emails in their personal account settings, they will not receive emails even if you add them to the notifications list.
If you have selected email notifications by role, and no one is set to a particular role (e.g. accountant), no email will be sent. To ensure all roles have at least one user, see the articles about how to add or remove users and how to edit user roles.
