Every event that might need your attention in a syndicate has a specific notification type. Types are grouped into five categories — Squawks, Bookings, Assets, Maintenance, Expenses — which match the sections you see on the Notification preferences screen.
Some types are admin-only: they are only relevant to admins or owners and do not appear to members in the notification centre or the preferences screen.
- Member — receives member-facing types; can toggle push and email for each one.
- Owner, admin, treasurer — receives member-facing types plus admin-only types.
- Notification centre:
/notifications. The in-app list of delivered notifications.
- Notification preferences:
/settings/notifications. Per-channel toggles, grouped by category.
| Type | For | What it is |
|---|
| Squawk reported | admin | A member has reported a defect or discrepancy on an asset. |
| Squawk confirmed | member | A reported squawk has been confirmed as genuine by an admin. |
| Squawk resolved | member | An open squawk has been resolved. |
| Squawk deferred | member | A grounding squawk has been deferred with an expiry date. |
| Squawk dismissed | member | A reported squawk was judged not to be a real defect. |

| Booking restored | member | A suspended booking has been restored after the grounding cleared. |

| Booking tentative confirmed | member | A tentative (pencilled-in) booking of yours has been upgraded to confirmed. |

| Booking finalised | member | One of your bookings has been finalised. |
| Tacho discrepancy | submitter + admin | A submitted usage log’s start meter disagrees with the previous booking’s end meter on the same asset. Critical — toggle locked on. |

- Admin-only types never appear to members in the notification centre and never show on the preferences screen unless the viewer is an admin or owner in at least one syndicate.
- Delivery follows the per-type preferences you set; see delivery channels.
- Every notification is stored server-side and visible on the notification centre, regardless of whether push or email was sent. Unsubscribing from a channel does not hide the notification in-app.
- Tap navigation. Most notifications open the related screen when tapped — the booking, the squawk, the asset, the expense. A small number are informational only (for example expense approved) and do not navigate anywhere.
- Grounding / asset events are broadcast to the whole syndicate when they happen: everyone receives “Asset grounded” and “Asset restored” notices, not just the reporter.
- Offline notifications are delivered on the next sync when the device comes back online.
A small number of notification types are flagged critical because they carry billing-accuracy or financial-integrity information that members and admins must not silence by accident. On the notification preferences screen these types appear with their toggle visibly disabled, the channel checked on, and a “Required by Syndik8” subtitle next to the row.
| Type | Why it is critical |
|---|
Tacho discrepancy (tacho_continuity_detected) | The submitter’s flight has been held back from auto-finalisation because its start meter disagrees with the previous flight’s end. Silencing this would let billing drift go unnoticed until reconciliation. |
Mandate cancelled (mandate_cancelled) | A direct-debit mandate has been revoked, by the member at their bank or by the payment provider. Future scheduled debits will fail until a new mandate is set up. |
Debit failed (debit_failed) | A direct-debit attempt has been returned unpaid. The member needs to clear the balance manually or the cycle of retries will keep firing. |
Payment verification complete (payment_verification_complete) | A required identity / business verification step on the syndicate’s payment-provider account has finished. The admin must read this so they know what (if any) follow-up is needed. |
Payment account restricted (payment_account_restricted) | The payment provider has restricted the syndicate’s account. Collections stop until the admin resolves it. |
Payment charges enabled (payment_charges_enabled) | The payment provider has enabled charges on the syndicate’s account. Acknowledging this is part of completing onboarding. |
Payment person failed (payment_person_failed) | A representative or beneficial-owner record on the payment-provider account has failed verification. The admin must intervene to keep the account in good standing. |
The category itself can still be collapsed and the notification still appears in the in-app notification centre regardless of the toggle. The lock applies only to the per-channel push and email opt-outs.
