Notifications

Comaney can send you email reminders before a bill is due, and a confirmation when it has been paid. This is helpful for any expense you add in advance and want to be nudged about as the date approaches.

How reminders work

For an expense to generate reminders, three things need to be true:

  1. The expense has a due date.
  2. The Notify option is turned on for that expense.
  3. You have Email notifications enabled in your account settings.

If all three are true, Comaney checks your upcoming bills every few minutes and sends an email when the right moment arrives.

The reminder sequence

Comaney sends one email at each step below, in order. Once a higher-level reminder has been sent, it will not go back and send a lower one.

Step When it is sent
Due soon When the due date is 2 to 4 days away
Due tomorrow When the due date is tomorrow
Due today On the due date itself
Overdue When the due date has passed and the expense is still unsettled
Settled When the expense is marked as paid (by you, automatically, or via the email link)

For example: if your rent is due on the 1st, you would receive a "due soon" email around the 27th or 28th, a "due tomorrow" email on the 31st, and a "due today" email on the 1st. Once you mark it as paid, you get a settled confirmation.

What you can do from a reminder email

Every reminder email contains three links at the bottom:

  • Mark as settled: marks the expense as paid and sends you a confirmation. You do not need to log in to click this.
  • Mute this expense: stops future reminders for this specific expense only.
  • Mute all notifications: turns off reminder emails for your entire account.

Turning off reminders

For one specific expense

Open the expense and untick the Notify checkbox, then save. Or click the Mute this expense link in any reminder email for that expense.

For all expenses at once

Go to Account Settings and turn off Email notifications. Or click Mute all notifications in any reminder email. You can turn it back on in settings at any time.
