We highly recommend enabling notifications for Messaging so that you never miss a guest correspondence. Please reference the section below that corresponds with your device to enable notifications. Messaging currently uses browser notifications, but stay tuned for potential in-app notifications in future.
Notifications are specific to each user within your account.
Every user who accesses Messaging will need to enable notifications within their own user login (even if they are on a device shared by other ThinkReservations users).
Notifications are specific to each browser used to access Messaging.
Notifications must be enabled individually on each browser and device (even if the user has already enabled notifications on another device).
Example: a user may enable notifications within their log in on the desktop at work in the Google Chrome browser. This will not automatically enable notifications when that user is logged in on their mobile device. It will also not automatically enable notifications on the desktop computer at work for that user within other browsers (Safari, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) OR for other users who are using Google Chrome on the desktop computer at work (the other users need to enable their notifications separately within their own login).
