The notifications you receive
What DriveGo sends you and when, by role: notification on your phone, email or message in the app, quiet hours, settings and emails.
DriveGo tells you at the right moment, in three ways:
- Notification: an alert on the phone or computer where you turned notifications on;
- Email: a message in your inbox;
- In the app: the Notifications screen, with a count of unread messages. Each message opens the screen it is about.

Company admin
You are told when a booking of your company is confirmed (whoever the driver is), when a driver's licence is about to expire, when the monthly invoice is available, when an agency sends you a new price offer and when your company verification is decided. The channel follows your settings; the verification result also arrives by email.
Quiet hours
From 22:00 to 07:00, your local time, summaries and reminders wait until 07:00. These still get through: accident reported, issue reported on a pickup and verification codes.
If a notification fails to send, the action that caused it still stands: your booking or your report is saved.
Your settings
In Settings, you turn each type of message on or off, channel by channel (notification, email, in the app), and you can adjust your quiet hours and time zone. Notifications are turned on device by device: see Turn on notifications.
The test notification, once per device
When you turn notifications on for a device, DriveGo sends one confirmation notification. Its title is "DriveGo, Notifications activées" followed by a tick, and its text: "Vous recevrez ici vos confirmations et rappels de prise en charge."
Reloading the page, signing in again or reinstalling the app on the same device sends nothing more. A new device gets its own test notification, only once. There is no button to send it again.
Text messages
For now, messages planned as text messages are sent to you by email. Real text messages will be turned on later.
Emails
Emails are sent as "DriveGo", in French, English or Arabic depending on your language:
| When | |
|---|---|
| Welcome and address check | When you sign up |
| Verification code | Phone sign-in, forgotten password |
| Password reset | Forgotten password |
| Booking confirmation | With the booking code and pickup instructions |
| Booking cancellation | Cancelled by you or by the agency |
| Invoice available | The invoice PDF is attached |
| Payment receipt | When the agency records your payment |
| Agency verification result | The DriveGo team's decision |
| Employee invitation | With a link to create the account, valid once |
| Company verification result | The DriveGo team's decision |
| Accident reported | For the agency |
| Insurance expiring soon | For the agency |
Emails that are not about one of your own operations include an unsubscribe link.
Verification codes
A code has 6 digits and expires after 10 minutes; the email says so. It never contains a link. After 5 wrong codes in 15 minutes, you must wait before trying again.
