Five native streams

Each notification type has its own dedicated tab.

No more inbox flood. Notifications are sorted by category, badged unread, and stay accessible without leaving Illizeo.

Absences

Vacation, sick leave, training requests — see them as soon as your team submits, approve in one click.

Approvals

Bank info changes, contract attributes, salary updates — every modification needing a manager goes through here.

Expense reports

Submitted, approved, rejected, reimbursed, draft reminders — the full lifecycle of every expense report.

Signature

Documents awaiting your signature, contracts pending validation, archive confirmations — never miss one.

Alerts

Probation periods ending, contracts expiring, work permit renewals, payroll reviews due — proactive alerts that anticipate.

Per-user preferences

Each employee chooses what to get and how.

Eight distinct events, two channels per event (in-app dashboard + email). Restoreable defaults. Saved per user — admins don’t impose noise on the whole company.

  • Approvals · Onboarding TODOs · Payroll review · Reminders
  • Expense submitted · approved/rejected · reimbursed · draft reminder (7 days)
  • Independent toggles for in-app and email per event
  • Restore defaults in one click

Org-wide control

Admins keep the master switch.

From the company setup, your admins control whether email notifications go out at all. Useful in onboarding, in maintenance windows, or to test before going live. Granular per-event control stays in users’ hands.

  • Master switch: emails on / off for the entire org
  • Triggered from Organization setup → Email notifications
  • Doesn’t override per-user dashboard preferences
  • Audit log of every change

Smart reminders

Documents that nudge themselves, not you.

Each document type can have its own reminder schedule — for instance: probation review at D-15, contract expiry at D-30, signature pending after 3 days, expense draft after 7 days. Once configured, Illizeo handles the rest.

  • Per-document-type reminder schedules
  • Multi-step (D-30 / D-15 / D-7 / D-Day)
  • Notifies the employee, the manager, the HR person — or all three
  • Pause / resume / customize per individual document
Probation period
D-15 → manager + HR
Contract expiry
D-30 / D-7 → HR
Pending signature
D+3 / D+7 → recipient
Draft expense
D+7 → submitter
Why teams love it

Less noise. Better signal. Faster decisions.

Six guarantees that make Illizeo notifications useful instead of stressful.

Five categories, never blended

Absences, approvals, expense reports, signature, alerts — each in its own tab. No more digging through a flat feed.

Two channels, your choice

In-app dashboard or email — toggle each event independently. Defaults are sane, customization is one click.

Smart auto-reminders

Probation, contract expiry, signature pending, draft expense — Illizeo nudges before you forget, not after.

Read / unread badges

A subtle dot on each tab shows you what is new. Click through, and the badge clears automatically.

No third-party tools

Everything inside Illizeo. No Slack channels to maintain, no email templates to design, no extra subscription.

GDPR-safe

All notifications stay within your Illizeo tenant. Data hosted in Switzerland. No tracking pixels, no third-party email service.

FAQ

Common questions about notifications.

Are SMS or push notifications supported?
Today: in-app dashboard and email. Mobile push is on the roadmap. SMS is available on request via our consulting team for specific events (payroll alert, payment confirmation).
Can I mute one specific employee’s notifications?
Per-event muting is at your level (the recipient). To pause notifications for a specific employee — for instance during a long absence — admins can disable email at the org level temporarily.
Are notifications synced across devices?
Yes. Read / unread state is synced via the API. Read on your laptop → cleared on your phone. No duplicate pings.
Do contractors and consultants get notifications?
Same engine, scoped to their role. They see Approvals and Signature streams when relevant, never Payroll review. Permissions follow your role-based permissions.
Can I customize email templates?
Brand color and logo are pulled automatically from your org settings. Free-text customization is on the roadmap; today, every email is signed with your org name and brand.
