====== Notifications ======

The Lead Manager features several different types of notifications that agents can receive based on the activities of the leads in their system. Below we will go over setting up notifications, the types of notifications and additional administrator level notifications.

===== Enabling Notifications =====

Prior to getting access to notifications settings, the permission to adjust these needs to be enabled by an administrator.

  * **Agents**: Contact your Lead Manager administrator and request the permission to access your notification settings
  * **Administrators**: Locate the agent who needs to have notification permissions enabled in your list of agents. In the agent's profile, toggle the permission related to notifications access.

Once notifications are enabled, the agent will be able to access their notification settings. **Admins**: The option to enable notifications for an agent is up to you, but if you choose not to allow this setting to an agent, you will need to set up the notifications for them.

Notification settings are accessible either in an Agent's profile or under the specific notifications tab in the Lead Manager's settings.

===== Notification Addresses =====

There are three separate notification addresses that can be set up in an agent's profile:
  * **Notification Email Address** - Primary notification address, usually matches the login email.
  * **Alternate Emails** - Alternate notification addresses. Can have multiple addresses, separated by a comma.
  * **Text Emails** - Emails that are sent to a mobile text message address. The format for these is dictated by your mobile provider but an example would be 1234567890@vtext.com for Verizon.
