Learn how to access, read, and manage system, subscription, and add-on notifications in ApprovalMax.

Updated this week

Accessing your notifications

You can view your notifications at any time from the top navigation bar.

  • Click the Bell icon next to your avatar. If the Bell icon displays a red dot, you have new or unread notifications:

  • A pop-up opens showing all unread and previously read notifications:

    ApprovalMax shows different types of notifications depending on your role and your Organisation’s status:

    • Announcement & Maintenance — important product updates, incident alerts, and scheduled maintenance.

    • License notifications — messages about trials, subscription renewal, payment issues, or plan changes.

    • Add-on notification — alerts related to add-on usage limits, such as Capture or ApprovalMax Pay.

Available actions

Depending on the notification type, you may see one or more actions:

Mark as read

  • Click Mark all as read at the top of the pop-up to clear all unread notifications:

  • You can also mark a single notification as read by opening it or clicking the blue dot on the right-hand side.

Dismiss

  • Some notifications include a Dismiss button:

  • Dismissing a notification removes it from your list.

  • Some subscription or trial-related alerts typically cannot be dismissed and remain visible until the issue is resolved.

Contact Sales

  • Shown when a notification relates to billing, subscription upgrades, renewals, or add-on usage.

  • Clicking Contact sales opens your default email application so you can send a message directly to the ApprovalMax Sales team:

Manage

  • Appears when the notification requires an account-level update.

  • Clicking Manage takes you directly to the relevant page (for example, subscription settings, payment details, or add-on configuration):

Update payment details

  • This action appears when there is an issue with the current payment method (for example, a failed payment or grace period notification).

  • Clicking Update payment details takes you to the Subscriptions tab in Billing & Subscriptions, where you can update your Organisation’s payment method:

Upgrade plan

  • This option shows up when your trial has ended or when your Organisation has exceeded its add-on limits.

  • Clicking Upgrade plan opens the Upgrade Subscription page, where you can upgrade to a higher plan or adjust your add-on limits as needed.:
