RemOnline enables you to set up automated or manual employee and client notifications. You need to integrate one of the SMS gateways from the Integrations page to send SMS notifications.

To send messages via Telegram, WhatsApp or Viber, you must also have the corresponding messengers connected on the Settings > Integrations page.

Automated notifications

The notification system allows you to automate SMS, Email, and Telegram notifications. This way, you instantly update your clients and employees on the specific Work Order/Lead events or notify employees about active task changes.

Customizing integrations in our system, currently does not support bulk messaging.

Automated Notifications for Work Orders

Navigate to the Settings > Notifications > Work Orders page. Here, you can configure automated message sending for clients and employees (separately for specialists and managers). Each group has custom events and action triggers.

You and your employees can receive event notifications from RemOnline via email, SMS, and Telegram at the same time. Configure your notifications with different notification templates for each messaging channel.

For instance, configure the client notifications for the Work Order status change to “Done” with all needed information about the Work Order and price. At the same time, set up the specialist assignment notifications and send a message to the target employee with the Work Order number and other relevant data automatically.

Automated Notifications for Leads

Navigate to the Settings > Notifications > Leads page. Here, you can configure automated notifications for Leads. You can send notifications to clients and employees, each group has custom events and action triggers.

You and your employees can receive event notifications from RemOnline via email, SMS, and Telegram at the same time. Configure your notifications with different notification templates for each messaging channel.

For example, configure automated notifications to send polite reminders to your clients asking for a callback when the Lead status updates to “No response”. If the Lead has an assigned manager, you can make a responsible employee receive a notification to callback the client with all related details.

Automated Notifications for Tasks

The system sends task notifications to the employees associated with a task (task creator employees and assignee employees). Configure automated task notifications for employees on the Settings > Notifications > Tasks page.

For instance, notify your assignees upon the task creation, and keep task creator employees updated when their task is completed.

Sending manual WhatsApp, Viber, SMS, and Email notifications

Send your messages to clients and employees manually, if you prefer to control the client and employee communication by yourself.
