TeeTimeHelper Chat Notifications Are Getting Better

 

TeeTimeHelper Chat Notifications Are Getting Better

At TeeTimeHelper, our goal is to keep everyone in your group informed—without overwhelming you.

What’s Changing?

Until now, if there were new chat messages in one of your events, you received a nightly email letting you know there were new messages—but the email did not include the actual message content.

This worked, but it wasn’t ideal.

Many of you use the TeeTimeHelper app and receive real-time push notifications that include the actual chat message instantly. Email users, on the other hand, had to wait for the nightly summary and then open the app or website to see what was said.

We’re fixing that.


🚀 Moving to Real-Time Email Notifications

Going forward:

  • Chat notifications for email users will be sent in real time just like app users

  • The email will now include the actual new message

  • Email notifications will match the experience of push notifications in the app

This keeps everything consistent whether you’re using the mobile app or just email.

If someone posts in the group chat, you’ll see the message right away—no more waiting for a nightly summary.


Want Fewer Notifications?

You’re always in control.

If you’d prefer not to receive notifications:

✅ RSVP “No” to the Event

If you RSVP No, you will stop receiving:

  • Email notifications

  • Push notifications
    for that specific event.

⚙️ Turn Off Chat Notifications Entirely

You can also disable chat notifications in your Settings if you’d prefer not to receive chat messages at all.


Why We Made This Change

This update keeps email users aligned with app users and makes communication more immediate and transparent. When someone sends a message, everyone sees it at the same time—no delays, no confusion.

As always, our goal is to make organizing and managing tee times as smooth as possible.

If you have feedback, we’d love to hear it.
