How do I set up default message recipients?

Default message recipients

Any Admin can be selected as a default message recipient. A default message recipient is an Admin user that receives the following notifications:

• when a Traveler creates a new Via account!
• if a Traveler sends a message in their Traveler profile and there are no message recipients assigned
• for authorized programs…
  • when a Traveler clicks Have a question on a brochure
  • when a Traveler clicks Learn More on a brochure
  • when a Traveler starts an application
  • any time the application status changes
  • any time form status changes

If there is no default message recipient selected, all Super Users will be designated to receive the notifications. There is no limit to the number of default message recipients allowed in a Via Global account. 

An Admin assigned as a default message recipient can choose which notifications they’d like to receive and which they wouldn’t by heading to the my notifications tab in settings. For more information on turning on/off notifications, click here.
