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.
This page covers features gated by Admin-tier permissions — typically Settings access. Admins have these by default; your administrator can adjust who has them in Settings > Team.

Order events

These are sent when an order changes status. They’re the most commonly used notifications.

Out for Delivery is one of the most popular notifications. Customers love knowing their flowers are on the way — especially for gifts where the sender is waiting to hear it’s arrived.

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.

Setting up occasion reminders

  1. Go to Settings > General > Occasions and click Edit on the occasion you want (e.g., Birthday, Anniversary)
  2. Add reminder offsets — for example, “7 days before” and “3 days before”
  3. When you create an order with that occasion, tick the reminder checkbox to schedule it
  4. Reminders are sent automatically the following year at the intervals you set
View and manage scheduled reminders in Settings > Notifications > Reminders.

Common questions

Yes. Each channel is toggled independently per event. You might want email confirmations but not text messages, for example.
Any order with a Funeral order type will skip that notification entirely. The customer won’t receive it by email or text.
Only for occasions where you’ve configured reminder offsets. Go to Settings > General > Occasions and add offsets to the ones you want (e.g., Birthday, Anniversary).
Yes. Expand any event in Settings > Notifications, click into the template, and use the Preview button to see what it looks like with example information filled in.
