Each notification is linked to something that happens — like an order being placed or a delivery going out. This page is a reference for every event, when it’s sent, and whether it works by email or text, and what data it includes.Documentation Index

Order events
These are sent when an order changes status. They’re the most commonly used notifications.| Event | When it fires | Sent by | What’s included | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Order Created | A new order is placed | Email, SMS | Order number, customer name, total, delivery/collection date | Disabled by default |
| Order Confirmed | You confirm the order | Email, SMS | Order number, customer name, fulfilment date and time | Disabled by default |
| Out for Delivery | Driver starts the delivery run | Email, SMS | Order number, customer/recipient name, delivery address | Includes Track your delivery button with live tracking link |
| Order Fulfilled | Order is delivered or collected | Email, SMS | Order number, customer name, fulfilment time, loyalty points | Includes proof-of-delivery photos. Wording auto-switches between “delivered” and “collected” |
| Ready for Collection | Collection order is ready for pickup | Email, SMS | Order number, customer name, opening hours | Only sent for collection orders. Also sent automatically at 8am for ready orders due that day |
| Delivery Carded | Driver couldn’t deliver — left in safe place | Email, SMS | Order number, customer/recipient name, driver’s note | Includes delivery photos if taken |
| Returned to Shop | Order returned after failed delivery | Email, SMS | Order number, customer/recipient name | |
| Order Cancelled | Order is cancelled | Email, SMS | Order number, customer name, total, cancellation reason |
Order type rules
Each order notification has an Advanced section where you can control which order types receive each notification (Gift, Funeral, Corporate, Event). Exclusions — never send this notification for a specific order type. Example: exclude funeral orders from delivery notifications so the family doesn’t get an out-for-delivery email. Overrides — send this notification even if the customer has opted out of notifications (or the order has notifications disabled). Use for messages the customer needs no matter what — order confirmations, receipts, invoices. For the full explanation of how overrides interact with per-customer opt-outs (and why they can’t be set per customer), see Notifications overview > Order type rules. To configure, click Advanced on any order notification and set the exclusion and override checkboxes for each order type.Event & proposal events
These support the event lifecycle — from sending a quote to confirming a booking.| Event | When it fires | Sent by | What’s included | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proposal Sent | You send a quotation/proposal | Email, SMS | Customer name, proposal link, access code, quote total, deposit amount, validity, bank details | Link takes client to their online portal to review and sign |
| Proposal Accepted | Client signs and accepts | Customer name, signer name, event date, quote total, deposit, event link | Notifies your team — not the client | |
| Finalisation Request | Event moves to finalisation | Email, SMS | Customer name, event type, date, time, venues, quote total, amount paid, balance due, bank details |
Business events
Communications that accompany financial documents. These are enabled by default and are always sent, even if a customer has asked not to receive notifications — but you can disable them in your notification settings if needed.| Event | When it fires | Sent by | Attachment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Invoice Sent | An invoice is emailed | Email only | Invoice PDF |
| Statement Sent | An account statement is emailed | Email only | Statement PDF |
| Receipt Sent | A receipt is emailed after an order | Email only | Receipt PDF |
Customer events
| Event | When it fires | Sent by | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automatic Order Reminder | Scheduled reminder for an upcoming occasion | Email, SMS | Disabled by default. Set how many days before each occasion the reminder should be sent in Settings > General > Occasions |
| Freehand Message | You manually send a one-off message | Email, SMS | Compose anything you want from an order or event |
Setting up occasion reminders
- Go to Settings > General > Occasions and click Edit on the occasion you want (e.g., Birthday, Anniversary)
- Add reminder offsets — for example, “7 days before” and “3 days before”
- When you create an order with that occasion, tick the reminder checkbox to schedule it
- Reminders are sent automatically the following year at the intervals you set
Reminders respect customer marketing preferences. They won’t be sent to customers who have opted out of notifications.
System events
| Event | When it fires | Sent by | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Order Worksheet | A new order is created | Email (to your shop inbox) | Sends the order worksheet as a PDF to your location’s inbox. Internal only — customers never see it. Cannot be disabled. |
