You find this page under Settings → Locari Assistant — the opened page is titled Channels. Here you connect or disconnect WhatsApp and set your notification hours. WhatsApp is the only notification channel: as long as it is not connected, Locari sends you nothing.
What Locari does automatically: Route notifications to WhatsApp (once connected), hold messages outside your notification hours, and deliver them in a batch once your notification window opens. What you decide: Whether to connect or disconnect WhatsApp and when you are reachable.
Common Tasks
For a detailed step-by-step walkthrough: Set up a channel — connect, scan QR code, configure hours.
How to
Connect WhatsApp
- Go to Settings → Locari Assistant.
- Click Connect WhatsApp on the WhatsApp card — a QR code and a link appear.
- Scan the QR code with your phone's camera app or tap Open WhatsApp — WhatsApp opens with a pre-filled verification code.
- Send the message as-is. The page refreshes automatically and shows the Connected badge.
Example: Property manager Daniela connects her office number +49 89 … — from now on she receives new applications for all 45 units as instant WhatsApp messages.
The verification link is valid for 15 minutes. Open WhatsApp before the timer expires. If it has expired, close the dialog and click Connect WhatsApp again to generate a new code.
Set notification hours
- Open the Notification Hours card and enable the toggle.
- Enter From (e.g.
07:00) — start of your availability window. - Enter To (e.g.
22:00) — end of your availability window. - Select your Timezone from the dropdown.
- The preview confirms: "Notifications active: 07:00 – 22:00" and "Quiet time: 22:00 – 07:00".
Example: Stefan (4 units) sets 07:00–22:00. An application arriving at 23:45 appears in his WhatsApp the next morning at 07:00 — no disrupted sleep.
Note: High-priority messages (viewing appointments, self-set reminders) are always delivered immediately, regardless of quiet hours.
Views and Fields
Channel WhatsApp
- Status: Connected (badge with checkmark) or not connected
- Display name: the connected number (e.g.
WhatsApp (+49...4521)) after verification - Connect WhatsApp button: opens the verification dialog with QR code
- Disconnect button: deactivates the connection immediately; after that you receive no notifications at all
What Locari checks during verification: Whether the code is in the correct format (LV-…), has not expired, and whether the phone number is not already linked to another Locari account. What you decide: Whether to send the code. A phone number can only be connected to one account at a time.
Notification Hours
- Toggle: enable or disable the time restriction
- From / To: time fields (HH:MM)
- Timezone: dropdown (Europe/Berlin, Europe/Zurich, Europe/Vienna, Europe/Paris, Europe/London, UTC)
- Preview: green block for valid configuration; red warning block when the active window crosses midnight (likely entered the wrong way round)
Messages with high priority (viewing appointments, self-set reminders) are delivered immediately even during quiet hours.
When you disconnect WhatsApp, Locari stops reaching out to you — there is no second channel it falls back to. Your rentals keep running and you can see their state in the application. Reconnect WhatsApp whenever you want to be notified again.
Your channel settings apply to you only — each team member connects WhatsApp and sets their own notification hours.
