We get it — notifications can be a lot. But whether you’re a guest looking for the perfect space or a host trying to secure bookings, staying updated is key.

Turning on notifications helps you reply faster, confirm requests on time, and avoid missing important messages.


Why It Matters (For Both Guests and Hosts)

  • Faster replies = better chances of booking

  • Hosts with quick response times rank higher in search results

  • Guests who reply quickly are more likely to get their preferred space

  • Power users stay active — notifications make it easier


🔔 How We Notify You

We use multiple channels to make sure you don’t miss a thing:

  • Email – messages, booking requests, confirmations

  • WhatsApp – fast updates directly to your phone

  • Push notifications – real-time alerts via the SpacePal app

  • SMS – for users in the US and Canada (great for time-sensitive messages)

We choose the best channel depending on your location and activity.


How to Set Up Your Notifications

  1. Add your phone number

    Go to your Profile Settings and enter your number.

  2. Verify it

    Once verified, you’ll receive SMS updates when someone reaches out or books your space.

  3. Check your email settings

    Make sure SpacePal emails aren’t going to spam.


Stay Connected with the SpacePal App

The easiest way to stay on top of inquiries and bookings is by using the SpacePal mobile app. With instant notifications, you can respond in real time, even when you’re on the go.

💡 How to enable notifications in the app:

  1. Download the SpacePal app from the App Store or Google Play.

  2. Log in to your account to access your messages and bookings.

  3. Enable push notifications so you get instant alerts for new messages and booking requests.

That’s it — you’re set. Whether you’re booking a space or hosting one, quick replies help you move faster and get better results.
