Notifications and preferences
Control what Nexte sends you, where, and when. No noise, nothing missed.
Good notification setup is the difference between a useful tool and an exhausting one. Nexte distinguishes three channels (in-app, email, mobile/desktop push) and lets you toggle each category independently. The goal: alert you only when action is required — not for every click.
Notification categories
- Payments: invoice paid, payment failed, refund processed. Almost always useful to keep on.
- Proposals and quotes: link opened by the client, accepted, declined, near expiry.
- Tasks: new task assigned, due within 24h, overdue, commented.
- Client messages: new message in the unified inbox, reply to a sent message.
- Project events: step marked completed, file added by client, feedback request.
- Accounting: new document to file, bank reconciliation discrepancy, upcoming tax deadline.
- System: planned maintenance, major feature change, security alert.
Configure each channel
- Settings → Notifications. The table crosses categories (rows) and channels (columns: in-app, email, push).
- Check/uncheck each cell to your preference. Changes save instantly.
- For each email channel, you can also pick a frequency: instant, daily digest (9am), weekly digest (Monday 9am). The digest bundles all notifs into one email to reduce noise.
- Enable quiet hours (default 9pm-8am) to block push during this window. Real-time notifs accumulate and arrive on wake.
- On mobile, allow notifications in iOS/Android system settings (Nexte reminds you on first app launch).
Recommended setup
If you're starting and unsure, here's a config that works for 80% of users: push only for payments and client messages, instant email for accepted proposals and failed payments, daily digest for everything else, in-app enabled everywhere (you see everything when you open the app, but nothing disturbs you elsewhere).
General preferences
- Language: French or English. Affects the interface and outbound emails to your clients (default follows app language, but overridable per client).
- Time zone: used for all displayed dates and quiet hours. Auto-detected, manually adjustable.
- Date format: DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY, or YYYY-MM-DD.
- Default currency: EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, CAD. Adjustable per client/project.
- Theme: light, dark, or auto (follows system). Dark reduces eye fatigue in the evening.
- Density: compact (more info per screen) or comfortable (more spacious). Personal choice.
Full disable
If you want to silence everything temporarily (vacation, weekend off), enable Pause mode from the avatar → Pause notifications. Pick the duration (4h, 24h, this weekend, until Monday). A banner stays visible to remind you you're in pause mode, and pause auto-disables at the end.
