Notifications

In-app and email notifications - with SMS and WhatsApp preferences - so people hear about what matters.

Overview

Notifications keeps people informed: leave approved, payslip ready, request waiting for action. Employees choose how they want to be reached.

Preferences include in-app and email, with SMS and WhatsApp options, and EvoqHR never sends notifications to employees who are inactive.

How it works - step by step

  1. 1An action happens, such as a leave request or an approval.
  2. 2The right people are identified.
  3. 3Inactive users are excluded automatically.
  4. 4The message goes out in the channels each person prefers.
  5. 5People see it in-app and open the request.
  6. 6They act, and the cycle completes.

Keep notification wording short and action-first - “Approve Riya’s leave” beats a long paragraph.
