Notification Troubleshooting


A missed email or text (SMS) can be problematic if you are waiting to show a home. If you are not getting notifications, then there are a few things you can try.

For your phone, you may be able to solve problems by simply turning it off and then back on again. You may also need to dig a little deeper. We've compiled a list of things you check.

Please Note: You should always follow your device's manual or manufacturer's website for details on troubleshooting and care of your device.



Check your Notification Preferences



By default, ShowingTime sends texts and push notifications during the hours of 8 am to 10 pm in your time zone. However, you can decide to receive these notifications at any time by selecting a switch in your profile.

Your provider may be experiencing delays or an outage. You should follow up with them to determine if any issues are being caused by one of these items.
