What are BrokerEngine Notifications?

These are the notification emails the system can trigger to be sent to you or other users within your account of the back of an action within BrokerEngine.

There are a wide range of notifications you can subscribe to, however, we don't recommend having all of them turned on as that would most likely lead to your email inboxed getting spammed. Rather, be selective with what notifications are going to serve you best.
​

How to Change Your Notification Preferences:

  1. Click on your initials in the bottom left corner of your screen

  2. Select 'Notifications'

  3. Tick the boxes of the notifications you would like turned on

  4. Click 'Save' at the bottom right of your screen
    ​

Here's a breakdown of the notifications options:

  1. Any note is made on a Lead or Deal assigned to you
    Switching this notification on means that whenever a note is made on any lead or deal you are set as the 'Broker' on, you will receive an email of the note. Most users have this option turned off as it can result in a landslide of email notifications if your team are very active with making notes. Instead, you have the option to 'Notify' on an ad hoc basis if there is a particularly important note you would want to send as an email notification to someone within your team.

    ​

  2. Any Task is Assigned to You
    We have specific recommendations for this notification depending on the type of BrokerEngine user you are.
    ​
    ​For Admin and Loan Processing users, we recommend having this notification switched off. One reason being that the team should ideally be working out of the task list all day as the daily 'to do' list. Another reason is that generally, the majority of the tasks will be tasks for the team to action, resulting in a lot of emails being triggered to your inbox and as we all know, the more email notifications you get, the less useful they become.
    ​
    ​For Broker users, we recommend having this notification switched on. Unlike Admin and LP users, BrokerEngine isn't meant for Brokers to be inside the system all day long actioning tasks. There will be a small number of broker assigned tasks and therefore an email notification when it's time for the broker to action a task in BrokerEngine is very useful.
    ​
    ​Of course, take the above advice with a grain of salt, at the end of the day it's totally up to you to choose how you would like to manage your email notifications.
    ​

  3. On FinanceVault, an applicant, guarantor or related party clicks "I'm Done" for any deal assigned to you

    We recommend this is kept on for all users. We have some groups where the brokers will turn this notification off for themselves, but that's only if there is an Assigned Team managing the data collection and the proper workflows in place to redirect the notification to the team.
    ​

  4. On FinanceVault, an applicant, guarantor or related party clicks "I'm Done" for any deal assigned to any of your teams
    We highly recommend this is kept on for all users.
    ​

  5. On FinanceVault, an applicant, guarantor or related party creates a comment
    ​    We recommend this is kept on for all users. We have some groups where the brokers will turn this notification off for themselves, but that's only if there is an Assigned Team managing the data collection and the proper workflows in place to redirect the notification to the team.
    ​

  6. On the Fact Find, a client clicks "Submit" for any deal assigned to you

    We recommend this is kept on for all users. We have some groups where the brokers will turn this notification off for themselves, but that's only if there is an Assigned Team managing the data collection and the proper workflows in place to redirect the notification to the team.
