Google Calendar

Google Calendar failed to create a recurring booking in [room name]

Google Calendar tried to sync a recurring booking, however, recurring bookings are not supported in Spacebring which caused an error. Create the necessary bookings as one-off bookings in the app instead.

Open your Quickbooks Online account, press on the gear icon top right, and select "Subscriptions and billing" from the Profile menu, check your trial or subscription details, and update it if necessary.

Receive and manage tracking notifications

Tracking notifications appear to administrators on the Locations > Notifications page.

Each notification includes the company/user's name and the title of the purchased resource. Administrators can click on the notification to reveal additional details about the activity. Administrators can view the customers' profiles by clicking on the company/user's name.

To ensure administrators are always timely notified about all the important activities and updates in their location, the app sends tracking notifications via 2 channels.

Push notifications

All the enabled tracking notifications always arrive as push notifications. Receive push notifications

Each administrator can enable the tracking notifications they want to receive by following the steps below:

  1. Open the Notifications page > tap โš™ top right.

  2. Choose the desired category > enable specific types of notifications and target audiences.

Nonmembers' and invoice activity notifications are enabled by default.

To receive notifications about user activity in a certain module, an administrator must have permission for that module. If an administrator enables notifications for the module they have no permission for, they will not receive those notifications.

Email notifications

Administrators can choose to receive all enabled tracking notifications via email, in addition to push notifications. This way, you can always get notified about important app updates, even when away from the app.

For this, just enable the "Email" switch at the bottom of the Notification Settings page upon configuring the preferred notifications.
