Notifications: the bell, email and phone push
Choose who is told about what (email, bell or phone push), set quiet hours, and turn on push on your phone.
Godo tells the right people when something needs them: a leave request to approve, a payslip that is ready, an overdue invoice, a BIR filing coming up, a task assigned to you.
Each notification can arrive three ways:
- Bell: the bell at the top of the screen (employees: Notifications in the portal menu). It shows your latest 20, newest first, with a badge for unread ones. Opening the bell marks them read.
- Email: sent to the person's login email. Needs working email settings. See Email settings and templates.
- Phone push: a pop-up on the phone's lock screen, for people who installed the app and turned push on. See Install Godo on your phone.
Company rules: Settings › Notifications
An admin decides, per event, who gets it and how: tick Email, Bell and Phone push, and whether staff can turn it off for themselves.
| Event | Goes to |
|---|---|
| Leave, overtime or punch fix filed | People who approve attendance and leave |
| Request approved or rejected | The employee (always sent; staff can't turn it off) |
| Payslip ready (no amount shown) | The employee, when payroll is posted |
| Forgot to clock out | The employee, 1 hour after their shift ended |
| Contract sent / accepted | The employee / HR |
| 13th month and 2316 released | The employee |
| Invoice overdue (day 1, 15 and 30) | People with the Invoicing permission |
| Payment received or proof uploaded | People with the Invoicing permission |
| BIR filing coming (7 days and 1 day before) | People with the Reports permission |
| Nightly books check found issues | People with the Accounting permission |
| Records created or changed | The role for that record (new invoice, bill, expense, user…) |
| Task assigned to you, tasks due | That person |
| Ticket or lead assigned to you | That person |
Invites, password resets and login codes are always emailed and can't be turned off.
BIR reminders use only the deadlines in your Filing Calendar. Mark a return as filed there and the reminders stop.
Clock-out reminder
Employees who forgot to clock out get a "Still clocked in?" reminder 1 hour after their shift ends, once per day. It only reminds them: Godo never clocks anyone out by itself. They clock out, or file a punch fix if they already left. Employees without a shift get no reminder.
Quiet hours
Phone push is held during quiet hours (default 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM, Philippine time) and arrives once they end. Email and the bell are not affected. Change or turn off quiet hours on the same page.
Your own choices: My notifications
Staff: click the bell, then Settings. Employees: Notifications in the portal menu.
- Untick email, bell or push for any event your company lets you turn off. A lock means your company decides, or it is always sent to you.
- Turn on for this device to get phone push on the phone or computer you are using, and Send a test to check it.
- You see the list of your devices and can Remove one, for example an old phone.
Privacy
- A phone lock screen never shows peso amounts, ID numbers or other employees' details. It says, for example, "Your Nov 1–15 payslip is ready. Tap to view." The amount shows only after you open the app and sign in.
- Each person sees only their own notifications.
Tip: No push arriving on iPhone? Push on iPhone works only from the installed app (iOS 16.4 or newer). Open Godo from the home screen icon, then turn on push there.
