What it does
Quickie quietly watches your business and drops a notification in your bell whenever something noteworthy happens. From the bell you can read each alert, jump straight to the thing it's about, and clear them all in one tap. Notifications are per-user: your read/unread state is your own, so marking one read on your phone won't change anything for a teammate.
Quickie currently raises four kinds of notification:
- Payment received — a payment was recorded against one of your invoices.
- Quote accepted — a client accepted a quote.
- Invoice overdue — an invoice has passed its due date still unpaid.
- Marked paid by client — a client used the public invoice page to say they've paid.
Where to find it
The bell icon sits in the top header, to the right of the search box, on every page once you're signed in. There's no separate URL — it's always one tap away.
Step by step
See if you have anything new
Look at the bell. If you have unread notifications, a small badge appears on its top-right corner showing the count (it shows 9+ once you pass nine). No badge means you're all caught up.
Open the dropdown and read them
- Click (or tap) the bell.
- A panel opens headed Notifications.
- Each entry shows an icon for its type, a short title, an optional line of detail, and when it happened.
- Unread entries are highlighted with a faint tint and a small dot beside the title.
Opening the bell refreshes the list, so it always shows the latest.
Open a notification (and mark it read)
Click any entry. Two things happen:
- If it was unread, it's marked read straight away (the badge count drops by one).
- Quickie takes you to the related page — for example the invoice or contact the notification is about.
Mark everything read
If you've skimmed the list and want a clean slate, click Mark all read in the top-right of the panel (it only appears when you have unread items). The badge clears and every entry is marked read. This doesn't delete anything — the notifications stay in the list, just no longer highlighted.
Mute the types you don't want
If a certain kind of alert isn't useful to you, you can stop it appearing in your bell:
- Open the avatar menu (top-right) and choose Settings.
- Find the Your notifications card.
- Under In-app alerts, untick any type you want to hide.
- The change saves immediately (you'll see a "Notification preferences saved" confirmation).
Muting only affects your bell — your teammates still see their own alerts as normal.
What each screen shows
The bell (header):
- A badge with the unread count (or 9+), shown only when you have unread notifications.
The dropdown panel:
- Notifications heading and, when relevant, a Mark all read button.
- A scrollable list of up to your most recent notifications, each with type icon, title, detail and timestamp.
- "You're all caught up." when there's nothing to show.
Settings → Your notifications → In-app alerts:
- A tick-box per notification type (Payment received, Quote accepted, Invoice overdue, Marked paid by client) with a short description. Ticked = shown in your bell; unticked = muted.
Tips & good to know
- Notifications are read state per person — marking them read is just for you.
- Clicking an entry both reads it and navigates, so it's the quickest way to act on something.
- The bell shows your most recent notifications, not your entire history.
- Muting a type hides future and existing alerts of that type from your bell; it doesn't affect emails (those are controlled separately — see the Settings guide).
Troubleshooting
- The badge won't clear. Open the bell and click Mark all read, or open the unread items one by one. If the count looks stale, reopen the bell to refresh it.
- I'm not getting a type of notification. Check Settings → Your notifications → In-app alerts — that type may be unticked (muted). Re-tick it.
- A teammate sees a notification I don't (or vice-versa). That's expected: read/unread state is per-user, and each person can mute different types.
- Nothing ever appears. Notifications are only raised by the four events above. If none of those have happened yet, the bell will simply say you're all caught up.
