Managing notifications NEW

The Martin application notifies you of new leads and required actions. The app supports both notifications via SMS message and via phone push notifications.

Tip: Phone notifications are affected by your phone’s power-saving feature, or by your telco and may be delayed or deactivated. It is recommended to only enable SMS notifications. SMS notifications are real-time and very reliable. There is generally no delay in receiving SMS messages.

Calendar preferences

Martin allows you to automatically add meetings and or calls to your calendar. By default, your meetings are set to be added, but this can be adjusted. Whatever you choose here, you have the opportunity to override it when setting up a call or meeting in the app.

Your meeting invitations are set by default to go out via both email and SMS. This setting can be adjusted here. Again, you will have a chance whenever you set up a meeting in the app, to override this.

List order

There are many lists in Martin and you have control over how they are ordered. Some folks prefer their lists to start at the beginning and work forward, while others prefer to start today and work back. Fortunately, Martin gives you the ability to set a preference with this one control.
