SMS/Email notifications for approver role

How to control when you receive notifications about new registrations

Written by Morten Borum

Approver notifications

As an approver, you can receive notifications when employees create registrations that require your approval – such as vacation, sickness, or working time.

You can choose:

  • Whether you want to receive notifications

  • Which types of registrations you want to be notified about

This helps you keep your approval list up to date.

It may be useful to adjust your notifications if:

  • You are not receiving notifications when employees create registrations

  • You are receiving too many notifications and want to limit them

  • You only want notifications for specific types (e.g. vacation or sickness)

How to set up notifications

Via the web portal

You can configure your notifications under: Approve & post registrations β†’ SMS/Email notifications

Here, you can select the registration types you want to receive notifications for by ticking the relevant boxes.

Remember to click Save after making changes.

Via the mobile app

On the home screen of the mobile app, select Approve in the top right corner. Then click the bell icon in the top right corner.

Remember to click Save after making changes.


FAQ

Why am I not receiving notifications when an employee I approve for creates a registration?

This is typically because notifications are not enabled for the relevant registration types.

Make sure to check your notification settings in BitaBIZ to ensure they are enabled.

Which registration types can I receive notifications about?

It depends on your setup and which registration types the employees you approve for are able to create. You can enable notifications for:

  • Absence
    Sickness, child sick days, vacation, additional leave balance, other leave

  • Special registration types
    Time off in lieu, overtime, plus days, minus days

  • Time registrations

  • Mileage

  • Custom registration types
    For example, working from home
    Please note that it is the configuration of the registration type that determines whether it requires approval. This is managed by administrators.
