How to Update Messaging Preferences

If someone is not receiving dispatch messages, review and update the Dispatch messaging settings to ensure the correct users and groups are selected.

Where to Update Messaging Preferences

Go to:

  • MMS > Dispatch > Dispatch Board > Settings (top right corner).

There are three tabs:

1. Messaging Behavior

Controls how the system sends messages for each event type.

Use this tab to configure:

  • When messages are sent

  • Which events trigger notifications

  • Driver and broker notification rules


2. Dedicated Dispatchers

Controls which dispatchers receive notifications for assigned jobs.

Use this if certain dispatchers handle specific plants, customers, or job types.


3. Messaging Recipients

Controls who receives email or text messages for each event.

For each event type (New Order, Cancel, Pause, Loadout Changes, etc.), you can set:

  • Email On / Off

  • Text On / Off

  • User Groups to notify (Staff, Dispatchers, Brokers, Drivers)

Make sure:

  • The correct user group is selected

  • Text or email is enabled

  • “None” is not selected when notifications are required

Click Save Messaging Settings after updating.
