Customize your notification preferences

The Holidu app allows you to control which types of notifications you receive, giving you complete flexibility to tailor alerts to your needs.

In the Notification settings menu, you can use the toggles to enable or disable notifications for each of these event types:

• Payouts – Receive alerts when payment is processed to your account
• Booking confirmations – Get notified when a guest books your property
• Booking cancellations – Receive alerts when a guest cancels a reservation
• Booking modifications – Be notified of any changes made to existing bookings
• Opportunities to optimize your listing – Receive suggestions to improve your property's visibility and performance

Simply toggle each notification type on or off according to your preferences. You can change these settings at any time.

Set timing for arrival and departure notifications

Holidu allows you to customize when you want to be reminded about guest arrivals and departures, helping you prepare your property in advance.

Within the Notification settings menu:

1. Look for arrival and departure reminder options
2. Choose your preferred reminder timing options, such as 1, 3, or 7 days in advance
3. You can select multiple reminders for the same event if desired
4. Save your preferences

This allows you to plan ahead and ensure your property is ready for each guest arrival.

What's new in the Holidu app

The Holidu app is regularly updated with new features and improvements to enhance your property management experience.

Updated app navigation:

• Recent updates and new features are centralized in the More section for easy access
• Key upcoming features are highlighted in the bottom navigation bar for quick discovery
• The interface is designed to help you find what you need quickly and efficiently

Make sure to review the More menu regularly to stay informed about new capabilities that can help you better manage your property and bookings.

Important considerations

Where to find notification settings: Notification settings are always located under the More menu in the current app version. Familiarizing yourself with this location will help you quickly adjust your preferences whenever needed.

Email backup notifications: In addition to in-app notifications, critical communications are also sent by email to your registered address. This ensures you never miss important information, even if you don't have the app open. Critical emails include:

• Booking confirmations
• Booking cancellations
• Booking modifications
• Listing optimization opportunities

Stay informed on multiple channels: For complete visibility of all important events, check both your app notifications and your email inbox regularly. This multi-channel approach ensures you catch all critical information about your bookings and property performance.

Best practices for managing your notifications

• Keep the app updated: Install app updates promptly to access the latest notification features and navigation improvements
• Review preferences after updates: After each app update, revisit your notification settings as new notification options may have been added
• Test your settings: After configuring notifications, wait for an event (such as a booking) to confirm notifications are working as expected
• Monitor both channels: Regularly check both the app and your email to ensure you're staying informed about all important business events
• Adjust as needed: If you find you're receiving too many or too few notifications, adjust your settings to find the right balance for your needs

By following these best practices, you'll ensure you're always informed about important events related to your Holidu property.
