So you've made a change to your schedule. People affected by that change need to know what's going on, as soon as possible.
With BuildIT, your people can be notified... automatically... by email.
There are 2 general types of notifications:
- Immediate, based on changes to tasks
- Overnight, based on upcoming tasks
You get to set the rules - who gets notified, when, and under what circumstances.
Immediate Notifications
When you open a task in BuildIT, make one or more changes, then click [save and close], you can configure the system to send out an email notification. There are several options here (as shown in this partial screen shot), and we can help you make the proper adjustments so the right people are getting notified about the right things.
For example, based on the configuration above, if you add extra days to a task, and that task is shared with an outside vendor or sub-contractor, that person will get an email notification that may look something like this:
Easy to see who it's for, what job, the task name, and what changed. The contact can even click a link below and go directly to their shared schedule web link (Contact Schedule) - a feature that sets BuildIT apart from the rest – where they can see ALL tasks for ALL jobs you have assigned to them, as well as ALL related job files you wish to share with them.
Overnight Notifications
Your contacts (vendors, employees, sub-contractors, clients, etc.) can now be given a "heads up" email notification several days in advance of a task you've assigned them to. Now, if there are any scheduling issues, they can be dealt with in advance, not the morning of!!
For more information on BuildIT's task notification system, and how to get it working for your team, give us a shout.
