Inbox

Last updated 2026-04-24

The Inbox is where Rundoo delivers the system notifications tied to you as a staff member — shipment notifications, vendor-order confirmations, and anything else the app wants to tell you about after the fact.

In the POS > Inbox tab, you'll see every notification for your staff account in one scrollable list.

What's in the Inbox

Each row is one notification. The table columns are:

  • Status — a Read or Unread pill. New notifications land as Unread; opening or marking them flips them to Read.

  • Subject — the short headline (e.g. New Shipment Notification for Order: MGHUE-0105R-… or Order RJXFQ-1118R-O accepted).

  • Content — the one-line detail (order ID, vendor, shipment ID).

  • Notified — the timestamp when Rundoo generated the notification.

The filter strip above the table lets you narrow the list down: Sort, Show/hide (column visibility), Archive status: Not archived, and Filter. The Archive status pill defaults to Not archived — archived notifications are hidden until you flip it.

Notification types

The notifications currently flowing into the Inbox come from the vendor-integration stack — mostly Benjamin Moore and other connected wholesalers. Two patterns show up most often:

  • New Shipment Notification — fires when a vendor marks an order as shipped. The Content line includes the order ID so you can jump back to Orders and line up the receipt.

  • Order accepted — fires when a vendor accepts the purchase order you submitted (e.g. Order RJXFQ-1118R-O accepted). The Content line shows the order ID and vendor name.

Both types are informational — nothing in the Inbox needs a response. Treat them like an audit trail: proof that a vendor action actually happened, with a timestamp you can cite.

Reading and dismissing

Select notifications with the checkbox at the left edge of each row (or Select all in the bulk-action row at the bottom). Once you have one or more selected, the bulk-action row lights up with Archive, Mark as unread, and Mark as read.

Three ways to clear the Inbox:

  • Mark as read — flips the Status pill from Unread to Read. The row stays in the list.

  • Mark as unread — reverses it.

  • Archive — removes the row from the default view. Archived notifications aren't deleted; flip the Archive status pill to Archived to see them.

If you want to zero out everything at once, Mark all as read sits at the top-right of the page. It only touches read status, not archive status.

The Filter popover adds one extra knob — Read status — so you can narrow the list down to just unread (or just read) rows when you're catching up after a long stretch away.

The Archive status pill on the control strip is the other half of the same story: toggle between Archived and Not archived to see one or the other.
