Alerts
What are Alerts?
Alerts is your personal notification center within the EventR app. It provides a simple, easy-to-read list of any changes made to your event itinerary since you last checked — whether that's a newly booked flight, an updated hotel reservation, or a fresh activity added to your schedule.
Think of Alerts as your "what's new" dashboard, keeping you informed without having to hunt for updates across multiple screens.
How to Access Alerts
- Open the EventR app
- Navigate to your event itinerary
- Tap the Alerts icon in the navigation menu
The Alerts page will display all recent updates, grouped by date.
Understanding Your Alerts
When you open the Alerts page, you'll see:
- Date headings — Alerts are organized under date labels like "Today", "Yesterday", or specific dates, making it easy to see when changes happened.
- Individual alert cards — Each card shows a brief description of the change and the name of the affected item.
- Empty state — If there are no new updates, you'll see a friendly message letting you know there's nothing new.
Types of Alerts
Alerts cover all the key items in your event itinerary:
| Alert Type | What You'll See |
|---|---|
| Flight | New flight bookings or changes to existing flights, including your booking reference and departure/arrival airports |
| Hotel | New hotel reservations or updates to existing bookings, showing the hotel name |
| Car Hire | New car hire bookings or changes, showing the vehicle type and provider |
| Transport | New transport arrangements or updates, showing the transport details |
| Parking | New parking bookings or changes, showing the parking location |
| Activity / Stand | New activities or stands added to your itinerary, or updates to existing ones |
| To-Do | New to-do items or updates to existing tasks |
Each alert clearly indicates whether the item is newly added or an existing item that has been updated.
Interacting with Alerts
View Details
Tap any alert card to navigate directly to the full details page for that itinerary item. This is the quickest way to review what changed.
Clear All Alerts
When you've caught up on all your updates, tap the Clear All button (represented by a read/all icon in the top-right corner of the Alerts page) to mark every alert as read. The list will then appear empty until new changes are made.
Refresh Alerts
Simply pull down on the Alerts page to refresh and ensure you're seeing the very latest updates.
Tips
- Check Alerts regularly — Especially on the days leading up to your event, when changes are most common.
- Use Clear All — Once you've reviewed everything, clear your alerts so the list stays clean and focused on new updates.
- Alerts are smart — You'll only see changes that have happened since your last visit, so you won't be shown the same update twice.
- Tap to navigate — Every alert is a shortcut. Tap it to jump straight to the full details of that item.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are some alerts showing as "updated" instead of "new"?
- A: An alert is marked as "updated" when an existing item in your itinerary has been modified — for example, if a flight time changes or a hotel room is upgraded. "New" alerts appear when an item is added to your itinerary for the first time.
Q: Will I miss alerts if I don't check for a while?
- A: No! All alerts are saved until you view them. When you open the Alerts page, you'll see every change that's happened since your last visit.
Q: Can I filter or sort the alerts?
- A: Alerts are automatically sorted by date, with the most recent updates appearing at the top. This ensures you always see the latest changes first.
Q: Who can make changes that trigger alerts?
- A: Any authorized user — including event organizers, administrators, or yourself — can make changes to the itinerary. When a change is made, it will appear in your Alerts feed.
