Customise Notifications and Emails
Overview
Want fewer emails? Or just want to make sure you never miss something important?
PaTMa gives you control over the notifications and reminders you receive, so you can decide which updates are useful to you and which ones you'd prefer to switch off.
This includes optional emails such as newsletters and market insights, as well as important reminders about certificates, rent and tenancy activity.
Please note that certain account-related emails cannot be disabled, as they are required for account security and subscription management.
Managing Email Preferences
To customise your email settings, open Your Profile and navigate to Email Preferences.
From here, you can control which types of email notifications you'd like to receive.
Optional Updates from PaTMa
These emails help you get the most out of PaTMa and keep you informed about useful resources.
You can choose whether to receive:
- Introduction Emails – Helpful onboarding emails, user guides and feature suggestions.
- Property Market Insights – Market updates and occasional webinar invitations.
- Property Management Tips – Letting advice, landlord tips and occasional webinar invitations.

These emails are completely optional and can be enabled or disabled at any time.

You can view the reminder timing schedule here.
SMS Reminders
If you'd prefer, certain important reminders can also be sent by SMS (text message).
Currently, SMS reminders are available for expiring safety certificates.
To enable SMS reminders, open Property Manager Settings.
Add your phone number, enable Send Certification SMS Reminders, then click Save.

SMS reminders follow the same schedule as email reminders and can help ensure urgent compliance deadlines aren't missed.
