In sales, timing is everything. Knowing when a proposal is opened, a payment is made, or an order is received lets you act fast, stay informed, and deliver a better customer experience. Portal’s Advanced Notifications feature makes sure the right people on your team are always in the loop.

Why Notification Customization Matters

By default, Portal sends proposal notifications to the person who initiated the activity. That works great for solo users, but growing teams need more flexibility. Different roles need different alerts—and Advanced Notifications delivers exactly that.

Here’s What You Can Do

From the "My Notifications" section in your Settings, any team member can subscribe to updates for:

  • Proposals: Be alerted when they’re opened, viewed, or accepted

  • Payments: Know the moment a customer pays

  • Orders: Track order confirmations and delivery milestones

Let’s say your:

  • Admin wants to know when a payment hits—they can subscribe.

  • Project Manager needs to track order status—they can subscribe.

  • Sales Manager wants to be notified every time a proposal is submitted—they can subscribe.

  • Entire Team wants to celebrate every win—they can all receive notifications when a proposal is accepted.

This ensures everyone is informed, aligned, and ready to move the project forward.

Power Your Workflow with Zapier

Even better, Portal's notifications integrate with Zapier. That means you can:

  • Trigger automations in your CRM

  • Send Slack messages when a proposal is viewed

  • Update project boards when a payment comes in

Notifications become not just alerts—but automation triggers for a more efficient business.
