How will I know if a customer requested a booking?

Let's face it, you're awesome and usually receive a lot of booking requests! Customers can send Taskers booking requests if they wish to 'Request a Quote' or require services from the Taskers based on their listings. All these requests can be found in the Booking Requests section under 'My Tasks'. 

How do Taskers get notified when they get a booking request from a customer?

There are 3 ways to receive notifications for booking requests:

• Email
• Push Notifications
• In-app Bubble/banner alerts

To manage your Notification Settings, head over here. 

It is totally understandable that getting a lot of emails a day can be overwhelming and push notifications are easily missed. So having a constant reminder that a customer is waiting for you to respond to a booking request can be quite helpful. 

What are In-app bubble alerts?

The In-app bubble alerts appear on a Tasker's account when a customer requests a booking so you won't miss them while you're browsing tasks. 

To remind you that you have a pending booking request that needs to be responded to, the alert will not disappear until you made a comment or offer on the request. 

For iOS users:

The alert will be in 3 places:

• Notification Centre
• Browse Tasks
• 'All Tasks' under 'My Tasks'

For web: 

The alert will be in a banner form and will appear when you're under 'Browse Tasks'

Desktop Web                                                                                                                                                    Mobile Web

• Simply click on the alert and it will lead you directly to the booking requests list under 'My Tasks'. 
• Once you made an offer to the booking request, it will go to the Offers Pending Tab (for web)/filter (iOS).
