Configuring Mobile Link notification preferences
Mobile Link provides users with multiple channels for receiving generator notifications, including email, text/SMS, and mobile push notifications.
- Please note that some notification methods are only available to paid subscribers. If you are on the free plan, then only monthly summary via email is available.
- Notification options can be simplified by toggling "Advanced Mode" off to enable Simple Mode (available for paid subscription plans only). Simple Mode also allows setting all notifications to come through a specific channel without individually setting the delivery method for each notification type.

Advanced and Simple Mode
Advanced mode is for users who wish to have specific delivery methods for each notification type. Toggling off Advanced mode enables Simple mode. In Simple mode, a user can easily set all notifications to be received through a single delivery method for all notification types, instead of setting the delivery method for each notification type. For example, users can enable SMS notifications while turning off email and push notifications. Users can easily toggle on/off which notifications they want to receive. Previously, each notification and its delivery method had to be set separately.
To enable Simple mode, toggle the Advanced mode to off. Notice how the Notification type options collapse into a single toggle.
To set a single delivery method for all notification types, simply toggle off the notification types that you do not want to receive messages through.
