3. Notifications

Book Lite offers two types of notifications:

1. App notifications:
   1. Push notifications (delivered to your device when the App is closed or running in the background).
   2. In App notifications (delivered to your device (as a small green or orange bar in header) when the App is open)
2. Email notifications

*In each case, notifications can be delivered for the following three events:

1. Booking created
2. Booking modified
3. Booking cancelled

You can control the notifications you would like to receive via 'Settings':

App notifications:

1) Select the green 'Edit' button beside 'App notifications'.

2) Choose the notifications you would like to receive:

Email notifications:

1) Select the green 'Edit' button beside 'Email notifications'.

2) Select the green 'Add' button beside 'Emails to receive notifications'.

3) Enter the email address that you would like to receive notifications.

4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 (above) if you would like to include multiple email addresses.

*Please note that each email address will receive the same notifications (you cannot set one email address to receive certain messages and another email address to receive other messages).

5) Choose the notifications you would like to receive and select 'Done' at the top right. Email notifications will be delivered by noreply.bookings@email.zomatobook.com.

*Please note that if you have accessed multiple venues on your device (phone), you will receive notifications for each and EVERY venue, regardless of the venue you are currently logged in to. If you do not want to receive messages for EVERY venue, please update your settings on a venue per venue basis.

**Please also note that at the highest level, App notifications are controlled by the device's OS (operating system - iOS or Android). This supersedes Book Lite's in App settings. OS notifications can be turned on/off through the device's settings.

• iOS: Settings > Notifications > Book Lite.
• Android: Settings > Notifications > Book Lite.

***If you would like to receive notifications but aren't, please ensure that notifications are enabled on your device's OS.
