Mobile Email Notifications

MaintenanceDirect users that utilize a mobile device have the ability to use a cellular email address such as 5555555555@vtext.com to receive SMS notifications. The SMS notifications are dependent on the email notifications setup by Administrators for each user role.

How to Set Up Mobile Email Notifications

  • Click on the Account Setup tab.
  • Click on Users.
  • Select the name of the user who needs to receive SMS work order notifications.
  • Check the box next to Receive email notifications. *Note: If a valid email address is listed in the Email field, the user will receive both work order email notifications and SMS work order notifications. If an invalid email address is listed in the Email field, the user will only receive SMS work order notifications.
