How to Configure Notifications
Decide which alerts your business sends, which channels they go through, and which teammates receive them — so the right person hears about a new lead fast without burying everyone in noise.
What You Can Configure
Notification settings split into two layers: business-wide defaults (which alert types are on and where they go) and per-user preferences (which teammate hears about what). This is for owners who want lead alerts to reach the right people the moment Kai captures them, plus account-level warnings about usage and billing.
- New-lead and lead-update notifications
- Email, SMS, and in-app notification channels
- The notification email address and phone number
- Per-user preferences and lead-score thresholds
- Usage alerts at 75%, 90%, and 100% of included minutes
- Payment-failure alerts
Update Business Defaults
- Go to Dashboard > Settings > Notifications.
- Turn lead, usage, billing, email, SMS, or in-app alerts on or off to match how your team likes to be reached.
- Enter the notification email or phone number for any channel that needs a destination.
- Save the settings.
Add Notification Users
- Open the user notification area on the Notifications page.
- Select a team member from your business user list.
- Add the user to the notification recipients.
- Set their channel preferences and their lead-score threshold so they only hear about leads above the score they care about.
- Save the page.
FAQ & Troubleshooting
I am not receiving any lead alerts.
Confirm lead notifications are turned on in the business defaults, that the channel you expect (email or SMS) has a valid destination entered, and that your user is added to recipients with a lead-score threshold low enough to include the leads coming in.
Why am I getting a usage alert?
Usage alerts fire as you approach your plan's included minutes — at 75%, 90%, and 100%. They are a heads-up, not an error. Review your usage in Billing to see where you stand.
A teammate gets too many notifications.
Raise their lead-score threshold or turn off channels they do not need in their per-user preferences. Business defaults set the maximum; each user can be narrowed from there.
