Notifications alert team members about task updates, deadlines, or changes in real-time via email, SMS, or push notifications. They ensure timely communication, improve accountability, and keep everyone aligned with project progress.

How do I assign a To-Do’s and notify them automatically?

Once a To-Do’s is created and the person is assigned to that To-Do’s (this person needs to be a User of Contractor Foreman), a notification is automatically sent to the user so that they could start working on it.

How does the person assigned to a To-Do’s gets notified?

The person/user assigned to the To-Do’s gets notified by Email, App Push and SMS notifications. This can be changed according to the admin’s preferences. Please note that the SMS notification is only available in the United States and Canada.

Now, let’s review together all the notifications that can be found in Contractor Foreman related to the “To Do’s Module“.

Assign a To-Do’s Item

As mentioned briefly above, the Assigned Item To-Do notification is triggered when a task is assigned, and it can be found under the Details Section of the To-Do list (see example below).

Once you assign a To-Do item to your employee or coworker, they will receive a notification.

Note: If you assign a To-Do item to yourself, you will not receive a notification. However, if someone else creates and assigns a To-Do item to you, then you will receive the “Assign Item To-Do” notification.

Complete To-Do

This notification is triggered when a To-Do item is marked as Completed, either manually or when all tasks within the checklist have been checked off.

If two people are assigned to the same To-Do, the person who marks it as completed will not receive the notification—only the other person will. This prevents redundancy and avoids an excessive number of notifications.

Completed Task To-Do

This notification is triggered when a task has been completed or done of one of the ones listed in the Checklist within the To-Do’s list in the Details Section. Following the same logic as explained before, the person/user who completes the task will not be notified, only the rest of the “assigned to” people/users.

Create To-Do

When a To-Do’s list has been created, the “assigned to” people/users will get the notification that a new To-Do’s list has been created and assigned to them. If that person under the assigned to field is just me, no notification will be sent.

Reminder To-Do

This notification triggers the day of the due date at 7 am to all the “assigned to” people with no exceptions.
