Notifications
In-portal alerts and opt-in email delivery for your assigned schools.
Updated 2026-07-17 · For: Advisor
The bell in the top-right of the Advisor Portal shows an unread count of alerts scoped to your assigned schools. Clicking it opens /advisor/notifications — a chronological list you can mark read individually or all at once.
What triggers a notification
- Portrait day reminder — created ~24 hours before each of your schools' portrait days.
- Roster follow-up — after a portrait day ends (with a short buffer), if any roster entries are still marked pending or absent.
- Schedule change — when a studio admin opens, closes, or reschedules a sign-up or portrait day on one of your schools.
Email delivery
In-portal alerts are always on. Email delivery is opt-in per type in /advisor/settings. Emails come from reservations@continentalstudios.com and are best-effort — a delivery failure never blocks the in-portal alert.
Coming later: Retouching-milestone and gallery-ready notifications and SMS delivery appear in the preferences panel and are marked as disabled until the underlying systems are available.
