Notifications & email
The Notifications page controls which events send you an email and which show up in the in-app notification bell. Two columns of toggles, one per event type.
This is a per-user preference — each team member picks their own.
To open it, go to Settings → Notifications & email in the sidebar.
What you’ll be notified about
Assure Pro notifies you about five things:
| Event | When it fires |
|---|---|
| New documents uploaded | A client uploads a document to their portal |
| Client messages | A client replies in any communication channel |
| Invoice payments | A payment lands (online or recorded manually) |
| Upcoming deadlines | An engagement deadline is within 7 days |
| Overdue invoices | An invoice goes past its due date |
Each event has two toggles:
| Toggle | Where the notification lands |
|---|---|
| Your inbox (the email on your team profile) | |
| In-app | The bell icon in the top-right of the dashboard |
You can pick one, both, or neither for each event.
Choosing your defaults
Out of the box, every event is on for both email and in-app — except “Overdue invoices” in-app, which is off:
| Event | In-app | |
|---|---|---|
| New documents uploaded | On | On |
| Client messages | On | On |
| Invoice payments | On | On |
| Upcoming deadlines | On | On |
| Overdue invoices | On | Off |
The “Overdue invoices” in-app default is off because the Billing → Overdue queue already surfaces these — a separate bell entry would be noise.

Saving your preferences
Flip any toggle. Click Save Changes at the bottom. Preferences apply immediately to future events. Notifications that already fired aren’t re-sent.
What you won’t be notified about
| Event | Why |
|---|---|
| Your own actions | No notification when you create something yourself |
| Other teammates’ actions | Notifications focus on client-facing events, not teammate activity (use the activity timeline for that) |
| System maintenance | Backups and overnight jobs go to the firm admin through a separate channel |
| Pipeline auto-advance | The engagement just moves to the next stage |
| Document processing finished | The document simply appears — no separate ping |
For events not on this list, check the activity timeline on the affected record.
How email notifications arrive
| Detail | Today |
|---|---|
| From address | notifications@assureone.ai |
| Reply-to | Your firm’s email (from Firm profile) |
| Subject | The event description — no prefix |
| Frequency | One email per event |
| Digest mode | Roadmap |
| Format | HTML with a plain-text fallback |
| Unsubscribe link | In the footer — clicking turns off all your email notifications (not selective) |
If you check your inbox constantly, leave everything on. Inbox-zero people often turn off “New documents uploaded” emails and rely on the bell instead.
Using the in-app notification bell
The bell icon in the top-right of the dashboard shows:
- Red dot — you have unread notifications.
- Click the bell — opens a panel with your last 20 notifications.
- Click a notification — jumps you to the underlying record (the invoice, message, or document).
Notifications older than 30 days drop off automatically. The panel only shows the last 30 days.
How it works with Communications
The Client messages notification fires when a client sends a message in any channel — Email, SMS, or Portal. The notification reads “New message from Patel Family” with a link to the thread.
If you’ve connected your own email mailbox through Integrations, your normal inbox already gets the email. The Assure Pro notification is in addition — most users turn off the email notification in this case and keep only the bell, to avoid double-pinging.
Helpful defaults
- Turn off “Upcoming deadlines” emails if you check the dashboard daily. The dashboard tiles already surface these.
- Keep “Invoice payments” on email — these are revenue events you want to see in your inbox.
- Turn off “Overdue invoices” emails unless you handle collections. Most firms have one person who chases unpaid invoices.
- In-app for everything, email only for things you’d act on in 30 minutes — a healthy default.
Permissions
Notification preferences are per-user. There’s no permission gate — every team member can set their own.
Editing another teammate’s preferences from the UI is on the roadmap.
What’s coming next
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Digest mode (one daily summary instead of one per event) | Roadmap |
| Per-client or per-engagement subscriptions | Roadmap |
| Mobile push | Roadmap (after the mobile app) |
| Slack / Teams integration | Roadmap |
| Quiet hours | Roadmap |
For now, the email and in-app grid is the entire toolset.
