Notifications

I notify you on your phone or computer when something is ready in your front office – bundled rather than one by one, and quiet at night. You decide how much the notification reveals.

I don't ping you about every email. When something new in your front office needs your decision or sign-off, I send you a notification. If a lot comes in at once, I bundle it into one.

Turn notifications on

1. Open Settings → General and scroll to Notifications on your phone.
2. Tap Turn on notifications and allow notifications in your browser.
3. Use Send test to check that everything arrives.

This works per device. Devices that are on are listed below; Remove takes one out. On iPhone, notifications only work if you first add Consent+ to your Home Screen via “Share” → “Add to Home Screen” and open it from there.

Two switches below:

• Show sender and what it is about – when off, the notification only says “New in your front office”. Handy when others can see your screen.
• Quiet at night (10 pm–7 am) – whatever arrives at night is waiting in your front office in the morning.

When I get in touch

Under Chief of staff → When I get in touch you can set more:

• Reminder before appointments – 5 to 60 minutes before a meeting; tasks with a time at that time. Your calendar needs to be connected.
• Morning briefing – one notification in the morning: what's on today and what I did yesterday.
• Quiet hours – during this time I only get in touch for urgent VIP matters.
• Daily wrap-up – from 6 pm a short status: all done, or what's waiting until tomorrow.

I'm rolling out the morning briefing, the wrap-up and the quiet hours from this page step by step. Until they're active for you, I notify you about every new item in the decision and sign-off folders, quiet at night according to the switch above. Once they're active, I only notify you right away about what can't wait: anything suspicious, deadlines within the next day and a half, VIPs and decisions. The rest goes into the briefing.

Prefer email? Briefing by email under General sends you a short summary.

If something's off

If nothing arrives, send a test. If it says notifications are blocked, allow them again in your browser or phone settings. If the test doesn't arrive, turn notifications off and on again.
