This page holds recipes for common tasks. Pick the one that matches what you need to do. To understand what DVI is for, start with the overview. To look up which notification goes to whom, see the reference. Your notification addresses live in Location settings, which you reach from the gear beside your shop name in the DVI form. See getting started if you haven’t found it yet.

Add someone to your notification emails

When: A new service writer joins, or you want a manager copied on approvals.
1

Open Location settings

Tap the gear beside your shop name, then choose Location.
2

Scroll to Notification Emails

You’ll see one field per address already on the list.
3

Tap Add email and type the new address

Add it below the existing ones so you don’t change where replies go.
4

Save

Save appears only after you edit a field. The change applies to the next report you send.
The new address appears in the list after you reload the page, and that person receives the next Report sent and approval email.
You can list up to five addresses. If you need more people involved, use a shared inbox or a distribution list as one of the five.

Change where customer replies go

When: Replies are landing with the wrong person, or your service desk address changed. The first address in the list is the reply-to address shown to customers. Their replies come back to your team, and everyone on the notification list gets a copy.
1

Open Location settings and find Notification Emails

The note under the first field reads Customer replies go to this email.
2

Put the address you want first

Retype the first field with the address that should receive replies. Then add the old address to a lower field, so that person still gets notified.
3

Save

Save appears once you’ve changed something.
The Customer replies go to this email note sits under the address you want. Send yourself a test report and reply to it to confirm.
Don’t just delete the old first address and let the second one move up. Retype the field instead. Deleting also removes that person from the notification list.

Stop notifying someone

When: Someone leaves, or a manager is getting more email than they want.
1

Open Location settings and find Notification Emails

2

Remove their address

Use the X beside their field.
3

Save

Save appears once you’ve changed something.
Keep at least one address. Empty the list and notifications fall back to your account’s addresses instead — which may be head office rather than your shop, and you can’t change those here.

Text the report instead of emailing it

When: A customer never answers email, or gave you a mobile number but no address. You choose this per customer, each time you send — not once in settings.
1

Open Review & Send Report

The customer’s name appears with Email and Text options.
2

Turn on Text and turn off Email

Turn on both if you want to cover your bases.
3

Send

The text arrives with your shop name and a link to the report. Text needs a mobile number on the customer’s record; email needs an address.

Send the report to someone else as well

When: A spouse, a parent, or a fleet manager is the one who approves the work.
1

Open Review & Send Report

2

Choose Add Contact

Enter their name, then an email address, a mobile number, or both.
3

Pick how to reach them

Each contact has their own Email and Text choice, so you can email one person and text another.
4

Send

Everyone you added receives the report. They all open the same report link, so they see the same recommendations.

A customer says they never got the report

When: You sent a report and the customer says nothing arrived. Work through these in order:
  1. Check the address or number on the work order. A typo in the email is the most common cause. Fix it on the inspection.
  2. Ask them to check spam. Inspection reports come from a TireTutor address, which some mail providers filter the first time.
  3. Try the other channel. If email isn’t landing, send it again as a text.
  4. Send it again from Review & Send Report once the details are corrected.
Did the report reach them, but your team never got the Report sent confirmation? Then the problem is your notification list, not the customer’s details.

Check who will be notified

When: You want to confirm your setup before you rely on it.
1

Open Location settings and read the Notification Emails list

Everyone listed gets the same notifications. There are no per-person settings.
2

Send yourself a test report

Run an inspection on any vehicle and send the report to your own address.
3

Confirm the Report sent email arrives

It should land in every address on the list within a minute or two.
The confirmation reaches everyone you expect. If it reaches nobody, your location list is empty and notifications are going to your account’s addresses instead.
For exactly which notification goes to whom, see the reference.
