Below are the available types of notifications.

Client notifications

The client notifications can be sent as SMS messages and/or by email. You should indicate the phone number and email address in the order creation window. Besides, you should enable the corresponding options in the Notification method section on the General tab of the settings.

Estimated arrival

The Current location tag is substituted for a link to the locator map which shows the driver's location in real time.

The lifespan (L) of the link is calculated using the following formula:

L = t est. + d  t curr. + 3600 s,

where:

  • t est. is the estimated arrival time displayed for the order;
  • d is the delay that occurred while travelling to the point of the previous order, if any;  
  • t curr. is the current time.

The delay that occurred while travelling to the point of the previous order (d) is calculated using the following formula:

d = t act.  t est.,

where:

  • t act. is the actual arrival time;
  • t est.  is the estimated arrival time.
