Enquiries Page - Notification Centre Explained
Follow up required: If you've set yourself a reminder for todays date and any previous dates, they will stay in this section until you clear the notification. How to set a reminder for yourself in Collins is here.
Customer waiting 2 hours: These will be any new enquiries within your Collins system that are older than 2 hours, so you can see how quickly you're getting back to your customers.
Todays enquiries: These are your enquiries for todays date, so they would be your high priority when signing into Collins.
New messages: For our Collins Mail clients, these will be your incoming unread messages from your customers. Essentially, this will be acting like your inbox
Auto Confirmed notes: These are auto confirm bookings where the customer has entered text into the 'Special Requests' box when making a booking.
Auto-conf. add details: For any auto-confirm bookings where information is entered into the custom field, you will receive a notification in the auto-conf. add details section.
Auto-conf. offer selected: If a customer has opted in for an offer when making an auto-confirmed booking, you will be notified under Auto-conf. offer selected.
Card authenticated: If a customer has filled out the authentication request you've sent them via email, this is the notification you will receive as soon as they have done so. Learn more about Card Authentication here.
