Waiver notification settings: company, listing, booking, and customer levels

Configure waiver reminders and admin alerts at the company, listing, booking, or customer level — with the most specific setting always winning.

Written by Benjamin Lazarov

You now have granular control over when guests receive waiver reminder emails — and when your team gets alerted about bookings with missing waivers. Settings are organized in a four-level hierarchy so you can set sensible defaults for your whole company and override them where needed.

How the four levels work

Settings work like overrides — you set defaults at the company level, then can override them for specific situations:

  • Company level — your baseline rules (e.g., "Send guest waiver reminders: ON")

  • Listing level — override for a specific listing or trip type

  • Booking level — override for a specific booking

  • Customer level — override for a specific guest

The most specific setting always wins. So if your company default is ON, but you set a specific booking to OFF, that booking won't send reminders — even though your company setting says to send them.

What you can control

Send reminder emails to guests

When on, guests with unsigned waivers receive automated reminder emails before their trip. When off, no guest reminders are sent within that scope.

Require waivers for bookings

When on, guests are expected to sign a waiver before their trip and the system tracks waiver status across bookings. When off, waiver collection and all related reminders / admin alerts are silenced.

⚠️ Heads up: Turning off "Require waivers" at the company level disables waiver tracking everywhere, regardless of any listing, booking, or customer overrides.

Alert admins about missing waivers (rolling out)

When on, your admin team gets an in-Origin notification when an upcoming booking still has missing waivers as the trip date approaches. You set how many days before the trip the alert should fire — we recommend 2-7 days. Each booking triggers at most one alert, so you won't see duplicates.

Also send admin alerts via email (rolling out)

When on, admins receive an email in addition to the in-Origin notification. When off, admins only see dashboard alerts.

A few things to know

  • Each guest receives at most 3 reminder emails per booking.

  • Guests who already have a valid waiver on file (signed within your rolling window) won't receive reminders.

  • The dropdowns at the listing, booking, and customer levels show the inherited value so you can see what you're about to override.

How to find these settings

Go to Waivers → Notification Settings. You'll see four tabs — Company, Listings, Bookings, and Customers — each showing the relevant override options.

Examples

Scenario 1: You want all guests to get reminders, except for one VIP repeat customer who already signs every season.

  • Company → Send reminder emails to guests: ON

  • Customers → Find the VIP → Send guest reminders: OFF

Scenario 2: A specific listing doesn't legally require a waiver (e.g., a lodging-only booking).

  • Company → Require waivers for bookings: ON

  • Listings → Find the lodging listing → Require waivers: OFF

Scenario 3: One booking has a guest who's been getting too many emails — you want to silence reminders for that booking only.

  • Bookings → Find the booking → Send guest reminders: OFF
