No push notification for approving managers after leave is submitted

Hi Team

 

We’re currently testing MYOB Team as part of a payroll system review and have a question around leave approval notifications for managers.

 

According to MYOB documentation, approving managers should receive a notification in the MYOB Team mobile app when an employee submits a leave request.

 

However, during our testing:

Employees can submit leave requests successfull;

Leave requests appear correctly in the manager’s MYOB Team app / portal when they log in;

Phone notification is on;

However, NO push notification or alert is received by the approving manager at the time the leave is submitted.

 

At this stage, managers only see the request once they actively open the app, rather than being notified.

 

How can we get this fixed please? 

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi kcpia,

    Thanks for sharing all those details, super helpful. This is a bit of an unusual one, especially since you’ve already confirmed that phone notifications are turned on.

    Approving managers receive a push notification on their phone when an employee submits a leave request.  There are no email notifications for managers for leave approvals; alerts are delivered via mobile push notifications in the MYOB Team app. 
     

    To help get this working, try checking the following:
     

    - Make sure they’re set as an Approving Manager for the right location
    In the MYOB Team admin portal, go to Locations, open the correct location, and add the person as an Approving Manager. This also sends them an invitation to use the Team app if they haven’t joined yet.
    (Note: When a leave request is submitted, push notifications are sent to all managers for that location.)

     

    -Confirm they’re using the MYOB Team mobile app with the right email
    They should be signed in with the same email address that’s on their employee record, that’s the email the invite is sent to.

    -Turn on device notifications for the MYOB Team app 
    iOS: The app prompts for permission on first open; you can also enable via Settings > Notifications > MYOB Team > Allow. 

     

    If the issue remains the same, make sure to reach out to our team directly. You can reach them on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA or by submitting a support case via MyAccount.

    Regards,
