Notifications on your phone

The Eave iOS app now has a Notifications tab and sends push notifications when a client books, signs, or pays.

The iOS app used to be quiet. A client could book a slot, sign the agreement, and pay, and the app would say nothing about any of it — you'd find out from your inbox, or the next time you opened the web app.

That's fixed. The app now has a Notifications tab, and your phone can tell you the moment something happens.

A tab bar

The app is organized around a bottom tab bar now: Inspections, Notifications, and Account. The settings that used to hide behind the small profile icon in the corner — your subscription, the privacy policy, signing out, deleting your account — all live in Account, alongside the new notification switches.

What shows up

Everything the bell in the web app shows:

  • Booking requests — a client picked a time, or asked you to pick one
  • Agreement signatures — a client signed the pre-inspection agreement
  • Payments — a payment settled, or a bank transfer failed
  • Organization invitations — which you can accept or decline right there

Tapping a notification opens the inspection it belongs to. The tab shows an unread count, and notifications are marked read as you open them.

Push notifications

The first time you open the Notifications tab, the app asks whether you'd like alerts on your phone. Say yes and you'll hear about bookings, signatures, and payments as they happen — even when the app is closed.

Not everything deserves to interrupt a crawlspace inspection, so each kind has its own switch. Find them in Account on your phone, or under Settings → Notifications on the web:

  • Booking requests
  • Agreement signatures
  • Payments
  • Organization updates

Turning one off stops the phone alert; the notification still appears in the tab and the email still arrives as before.

If you'd rather not be alerted at all, decline the prompt — or turn Eave's notifications off in iOS Settings later. The Notifications tab keeps working either way.
