Submission and approval notifications

Prev Next

On specific occasions, Payhawk sends out notifications via email and mobile, thus enabling you to stay on track with your corporate expenses and approval requests.

Notifications are designed to ensure actions such as expense submissions and approvals are carried out efficiently, tailored for different roles, including users, approvers, and Payhawk administrators.

For example, Payhawk notifies employees when they have to submit an expense or managers need to be aware of their pending requests.

The following table summarises the notification types and their details.
