Web Push (desktop and Android)
PropOps supports Web Push notifications on desktop browsers and Android devices. Push notifications appear as system notifications outside the browser — even when PropOps is not the active tab.Push notifications are sent for real-time events such as:
- New job assignments.
- Case note updates on jobs you are involved with.
- Recall events.
- Approval gate actions requiring your attention.
Installing the PWA for push notifications
To receive push notifications reliably, install PropOps as a Progressive Web App (PWA):On desktop (Chrome / Edge):
- Open PropOps in your browser.
- Look for the install icon in the browser address bar (a small computer or plus icon).
- Select Install and confirm.
- PropOps opens as a standalone app. Grant notification permission when prompted.
On Android (Chrome):
- Open PropOps in Chrome.
- Tap the three-dot menu → Add to Home screen.
- Confirm the installation.
- Open the installed app and grant notification permission when prompted.
Once installed, push notifications arrive even when the app is not open.Apple Push Notifications (iOS)
PropOps sends push notifications to iOS devices via Apple APNs. To enable them:
- Open PropOps in Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the Share button and select Add to Home Screen.
- Open the installed app from your home screen.
- Grant notification permission when prompted by iOS.
iOS push notifications require the PWA to be opened at least once from the home screen icon after installation. Notifications will not arrive if you continue using PropOps only through the Safari browser tab.
WhatsApp for contractors and tenants
PropOps can send WhatsApp messages to contractors and tenants directly from a job record. This is useful for communicating job details to contractors in the field and to tenants who do not have platform access.WhatsApp messages are template-based — your administrator configures the available message templates under Admin → WhatsApp Templates. Each template defines the message structure and the data fields that are substituted in automatically (e.g. job address, job reference, contractor name).Sending a WhatsApp message from a job
- Open the job.
- Select WhatsApp from the top action bar.
- A dropdown lists the available message templates.
- Select the template you want to send.
- WhatsApp opens with the message pre-filled and the recipient’s number set. Review and tap Send in WhatsApp.
WhatsApp messages can be sent to the contractor assigned to the job or to linked tenants, depending on the template configuration.The recipient must have an active WhatsApp account on their registered phone number. No WhatsApp Business API account is required — PropOps generates a pre-filled message link that opens in WhatsApp Web or the mobile app.
