About auto alerts in the Notification Centre

Auto alerts notify users when specific actions or changes occur in Box+Dice, such as updates to buyers, properties, or transactions.

Auto alerts now appear in the Notification Centre, making them visible inside Box+Dice rather than being delivered only by email or SMS. This provides in‑app visibility into important updates, even for users who do not manage alerts themselves.

This helps reduce inbox clutter, minimise missed alerts, and give recipients more flexibility in how they stay informed, without affecting how an Admin configures the auto alert.


How auto alert delivery works

Delivery options are available depending on how the auto alert is configured and your role permissions.

Auto alerts can be delivered using one or more of the following options:

  • Notification + email
  • Notification + SMS
  • In‑app notification only

When an auto alert is triggered, it appears in the Notification Centre based on the selected delivery option.


View auto alerts in the Notification Centre

The Notification Centre displays auto alerts alongside other notifications, such as reminders and system messages.

To view auto alerts:

  • Select the bell icon in the left‑hand navigation
  • Select Alerts
  • Review alerts listed under Alerts
  • Select an alert to view more details

Auto alerts remain accessible in the Notification Centre even if email delivery is turned off.

Note: Users who receive auto alert emails but do not manage the alert can choose to stop email delivery using the link provided in the email. When email delivery is stopped, the auto alert continues to be delivered as an in‑app notification in Box+Dice.

Manage notification preferences for auto alerts

Some notification preferences can be adjusted directly from the Notification Centre.

To review notification preferences:

  • Open the Notification Centre
  • Select the settings icon
  • Review available delivery options under Auto alert and other notification types
  • Select Save to apply changes
Note: Admin‑managed auto alert rules cannot be edited by standard users, but delivery preferences can still be configured.

Unsubscribe from an Auto Alert Email

If you receive an auto alert email that you no longer wish to receive, you can unsubscribe directly from the email without affecting the underlying auto alert configuration.

To unsubscribe from an auto alert email:

  • Open the auto alert email
  • Select the Unsubscribe link included in the email
Note: Some agencies may ask Box+Dice Support to mandate Auto Alert emails for compliance-critical workflows. When this is enabled for your subdomain, the unsubscribe link is removed from Auto Alert emails, and users who previously unsubscribed may be automatically resubscribed.
  • Confirm your choice by selecting Yes, unsubscribe me

    .

Once confirmed:

  • Email delivery for that specific auto-alert has been stopped for your user account.
  • The auto alert remains and will continue to appear as an in-app notification in Box+Dice.
  • Other auto alerts and notification emails are not affected.

View unsubscribed auto alerts

To review unsubscribed auto alerts:

  • Select the bell icon in the left-hand navigation
  • Select the settings icon
  • Locate the auto alert in the notification preferences list

Unsubscribed auto alerts display an Unsubscribed status along with the date the email delivery was stopped.

If the auto alert has been given a name by the administrator, the alert name will appear next to the unsubscribe status, making it easier to identify which alert has been disabled.

Resubscribe to an auto alert

If you want to start receiving email notifications again:

  • Open the Notification Centre
  • Select the settings icon
  • Locate the unsubscribed auto alert
  • Select Resubscribe
  • Click Save

Email delivery will resume for that specific auto alert.

Note: Unsubscribing from an auto alert only affects the individual auto alert you selected. It does not unsubscribe you from all Box+Dice emails or other auto alerts.
