Solution: Providing visibility and increased customer service through setting up and sending notifications.
Prerequisites:
- A Delivery to be Created with Email Notification Recipients
- Notification Settings Populated within Dispatch Settings
Organization Settings
This is where you set up who the notifications are “from”. You will put the Recipient Facing Organization Name and a Contact Phone Number that will appear on all notifications that are sent out. This can be found in the Organization Settings in the upper-right dropdown menu.
Global Delivery Notification Settings
Before completing your first delivery with Dispatch, we recommend configuring your Global Notification Settings.
Fields
Recipient Facing Organization Name: This field allows you to specify how your customers refer to your business. For example, the Dispatch application may have your official business name as Acme Inc, Branch 103, but you just want your customers to see Acme Inc.
Contact Phone Number: The phone number you want recipients to call if they have questions about their delivery. This will appear in email notifications and on the delivery status page.
Website Address: The website address you want recipients to see for your website.
These settings will prompt notifications about deliveries executed on your own fleet as well as those completed by Dispatch Marketplace drivers.
Note: With the Professional plan, you have the ability to upload your company logo into the Settings which will then appear on all SMS & Email notifications sent out.

Professional Plan Features
If you have the Professional plan, you can also customize each notification message text, as shown below. You can then preview the SMS or email notifications and send a test SMS message. If you want to start over with your customization, you can click the Reset to Default button, which will put the original (default) messaging back in place.
