Important Information About Notifications

Where to Find Notification Settings

Notification settings remain located in the More menu in the current version of the Holidu app. If you cannot find them immediately, check that your app is updated to the latest version.

Backup Communication Channels

In addition to in-app notifications, Holidu sends critical communications via email to your registered email address. This ensures you receive important updates through multiple channels:

• Booking confirmations are sent to your email
• Booking cancellations are sent to your email
• Booking modifications are sent to your email
• Listing optimization opportunities are sent to your email

For complete visibility of your property's activity, it is recommended to monitor both your app notifications and your registered email account.

Best Practices for Managing Your Notifications

Follow these tips to get the most out of Holidu notifications:

• Keep your app updated: Regularly check your device's app store for updates. New notification options and features are frequently added in app updates.
• Review settings after updates: After updating the Holidu app, revisit your notification preferences to see if new notification types or timing options have become available.
• Check both channels: Establish a routine of checking both your app notifications and your email inbox to ensure you don't miss any important information.
• Adjust based on your needs: If you receive too many notifications, disable categories that are less critical to your operations. Conversely, enable notifications for events that require immediate attention.
• Test your settings: After configuring your notification preferences, ask a friend to make a test booking to verify that notifications are working as expected.
