Notifications
Seleckt sends email notifications to keep you informed when important things happen -- a client pays an invoice, signs a contract, or completes a selection. The notification settings page lets you control exactly which emails you receive so your inbox stays useful, not overwhelming.
Accessing Notification Settings
- Go to Settings > Notifications.
- You see a list of notification categories with toggle switches.
Each per-event toggle has two states:
- On -- you receive email notifications for that event
- Off -- you do not receive email notifications for that event
Changes are not saved automatically. When you adjust any toggle, a floating save bar appears -- click Save to apply your changes (or discard them to revert).
Master Toggles
At the top of the page there are two independent master toggles:
- Email Notifications -- enables or disables all email notifications at once. Turning it off silences every email, regardless of the individual per-event settings below.
- In-App Notifications -- enables or disables the real-time notifications shown in the bell icon and notification center.
These two toggles are independent of each other: you can keep in-app notifications on while turning email off, or vice versa.
Tip: Going on holiday? Flip the Email Notifications master toggle off so your inbox stays clear while you are away. Turn it back on when you return and your individual preferences will still be there.
Per-Event Controls
Below the master toggles, notifications are grouped by category. The per-event toggles control email only -- they have no effect on in-app delivery. When Email Notifications is turned off, the per-event toggles are disabled.
Here is what you can control:
Invoices
| Event | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Invoice sent to client | Confirmation that an invoice was successfully sent to a client. |
| Invoice updated notification | An existing invoice has been updated. |
| Invoice overdue alert | A reminder that an invoice has passed its due date without payment. |
| Payment due reminder | A scheduled reminder about an upcoming payment. |
| Overdue payment reminder | A scheduled reminder about an overdue payment. |
| Payment received confirmation | A client has paid an invoice. |
Contracts
| Event | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Contract sent to client | Confirmation that a contract was sent to a client. |
| Contract signed notification | A client has signed a contract. |
Gallery
| Event | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Client invitation | A gallery invitation was sent to a client. |
| Photo selection submitted | A client has submitted their photo selections from a gallery. |
| Selection changed after submission | A client has changed their selections after the initial submission. |
| Gallery expired notification | A gallery has reached its expiry date. |
| Download ready notification | A gallery download is ready. |
Transfers
| Event | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Delivery payment received | Payment for an outgoing delivery has been received. |
| Delivery payment refunded | Payment for an outgoing delivery has been refunded. |
| Delivery expired notification | An outgoing delivery has reached its expiry date. |
System
| Event | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Payment dispute alert | A payment dispute has been opened. |
| Trial ending notification | Your subscription trial is about to end. |
Choosing What to Keep On
There is no one-size-fits-all configuration. Here are some suggestions based on how you work:
If you want to stay on top of everything
Leave all notifications on. This is the default and works well if you want to know about every client interaction as it happens.
If you only care about money and signatures
Turn on:
- Payment received confirmation
- Invoice overdue alert
- Contract signed notification
Turn off everything else. You will only hear from Seleckt when a payment comes in, an invoice is late, or a contract gets signed.
If you check the dashboard regularly
Turn off most notifications and use the Activity Log to review events in bulk. Keep only the most critical notifications on (payment received confirmation, contract signed notification).
Tip: Start with everything on, and then turn off the ones that feel noisy after a week or two. It is easier to pare down than to guess upfront what you will need.
Where Notifications Are Sent
All notifications go to the email address on your Account Settings. If you need to change where notifications are delivered, update your email address there.
In-App Notifications
In addition to email, Seleckt delivers real-time in-app notifications via the bell icon in the navigation bar. In-app notifications appear instantly when an event occurs (such as a payment, signed contract, or completed selection) using a live connection to the server.
- A badge on the bell shows your unread notification count.
- Click the bell to open the notification panel and see recent events.
- Click Mark All as Read to clear the badge.
- Each notification links directly to the relevant resource (invoice, contract, gallery, etc.).
In-app delivery is governed independently. The per-event toggles above control email only -- they do not affect in-app notifications. Whether you receive in-app notifications is determined by the In-App Notifications master toggle (plus the event's category), not by the per-event toggles. So even with a per-event email toggle off, you may still see that event in the bell as long as in-app notifications are enabled.
Tip: In-app notifications are especially useful during busy seasons. Keep your email notifications minimal and rely on the notification bell for real-time awareness.
In-App vs. Email
Even if you turn off all notifications, activity within Seleckt is always logged in the Activity Log. So you can still review events there at any time.
Quick Reference
| Action | Where to Find It |
|---|---|
| Open notification settings | Settings > Notifications |
| Turn all email notifications on/off | Email Notifications master toggle at the top |
| Turn all in-app notifications on/off | In-App Notifications master toggle at the top |
| Toggle individual email events | Flip the switch next to each event, then Save |
| Change notification email | Settings > Account > Email |
| Review events without email | Activity Log |
Tip: If you are not receiving expected notifications, check two things: first, make sure the notification is toggled on in these settings. Second, check your email spam folder -- add Seleckt to your contacts to prevent emails from landing there.
