fynk provides a variety of default notifications, along with the option to customize them to your needs. Whether you prefer updates for specific dates or recurring events, notifications via email or in-app, this article will cover everything you need to know.
​

fynk provides the following document-based notifications by default:

This notification is sent to all tagged users (internal and/or external, tagged via "@") and the document owner. It is triggered whenever a comment is added to the document.

This notification is sent to all document members, both internal and external. It includes a link to the fully signed document as well as a link to the online version.

This notification is sent to all document members, regardless of their role (internal or external). It is triggered when the signing stage is initiated by any party or user.

When an external user indicates they are ready to sign by using the respective button, this notification is sent to all document members, internal and external.

This notification is sent to users responsible for approving the current checkpoint. It is triggered as soon as a checkpoint starts. By default, it is resent every two days as a reminder until the checkpoint is either approved or declined.

This notification is sent to all signatories required to sign the document. It is triggered when the signing stage begins. By default, reminders are sent every two days until the document is signed or the signing process is canceled.

Internal document members receive this notification two weeks before the document enters its notice period.

The metadata used for the calculation are [Contract end date] and [Cancellation notice period].
​

Internal document members receive this notification two weeks before the document becomes active.

The metadata used for the calculation are [Contract start date] and [Effective date].

Internal document members receive this notification two weeks before the document expires.

The metadata used for the calculation is [Expiration date]. It may also be automatically calculated from the [Contract end date] (if no [Renewal duration] is defined) or from the [Termination date] ([Termination date] + [Cancellation notice date])

Internal document members receive this notification two weeks before the document renews.

The metadata used for the calculation is the [Contract end date] (if [Renewal duration] is set)

You can adjust the following aspects of notifications, depending on the type:

Document notifications can be globally customized by users with the "owner" or "admin" role via the following link: fynk Account Settings - Document Notifications.

You can set default notification settings for a template. These defaults will be inherited by all documents created from that template.

Notifications can also be customized on an individual document level. Changes made at this level will override any settings inherited from the template or global defaults.

This hierarchy ensures flexibility in managing notifications while maintaining control over global and template-based defaults.

Apart from the default document notifications, you can use Tasks to get notified for additional custom events.

Tasks will work quite similar to the document notifications for Contract start or Contract end. You basically choose or create your own date type metadata and a time you want to be notified in advance.

Each document that has a set value for that metadata will then create a task for the specified scope of users.

Global tasks can be managed by users with "admin" or "owner" role here.

Notifications are always intended for document users. Within the notification settings, you can target different types of document users:

By targeting specific user types, notifications can be tailored to ensure the right users receive relevant updates at the appropriate time.

fynk also offers some additional notifications that are not listed above, mainly because they are not customizable. Some examples would be:

User invitation

Document invitation

Password reset

All notifications can either be received in app or via email (external users will always exclusively receive emails).
