Push notifications

What it is

These are what buzz:

• Follow up: the address, when a follow-up on a lead you own comes due.
• (Their name) mentioned you, when a teammate @mentions you in a note.
• A workflow's Send notification step, to whoever it names. That's how price drops, offer deadlines and late follow-ups reach you, for example from the ready-made Price drop, mark Hot or Past-due nudges.
• New deals from a buy box, to the buy box's owner, when it adds leads.
• Reminder: the address, when one of your reminders goes off.

How to turn them on

1. 1

   On a phone, say yes when Acre asks

   Acre asks once: Turn on notifications? Press Turn on, then allow it when your phone asks.

   Turn onNot now

   Or turn them on from the bell

   Open the bell at the top of the screen. The line at the bottom says whether alerts on this device are on. Press Turn on.

3. 3

   On an iPhone, add Acre to your Home Screen first

   In Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, and open Acre from there. Then turn notifications on. This needs iOS 16.4 or later.

4. 4

   Do it on each device

   Your phone and your laptop each need their own yes.

Quiet hours

Quiet hours belong to each workflow. In a workflow's settings, turn Quiet hours on and pick the hours. Waits, time limits and repeat rounds that would end at night move to the morning, so the follow-ups and notifications after them wait too. New lead nudges, Past-due nudges and Offer check-ins come with quiet hours from 8 PM to 8 AM. See Build your own workflow.

Mentions aren't held. They buzz when they're written.

Good to know

• If notifications are blocked, allow them for Acre in your phone or browser settings.
• The bell lists due follow-ups, mentions, reminders and workflow notifications whether or not push is on.
• A follow-up push that can't reach your phone within an hour is dropped. The follow-up is still in the bell and on your dashboard.
• A newer follow-up push for the same lead replaces the older one, so they don't pile up.
• A workflow notification meant for the lead's owner goes to the workspace owners when the lead has no owner.
• When a workflow has just notified you about a lead, you don't get a second push for its follow-up in the same minute.
• Buy boxes check from 6 AM to 9 PM, so their pushes come in the daytime. See Buy boxes.
