There are a few reasons why you may not be getting supply request emails. Your Clean Smarts administrator will need to check the settings below. **Applies to:** Account administrators and managers with **Users (Edit)** and **Locations (Edit)**. The user who should receive emails also needs supply-related module access so the supply request notification options appear on their profile. --- ### New or Updated Supply Request Email Notifications Are Not Enabled 1. Open **Manage Users** from your profile menu in the bottom-left corner, or press **Ctrl/Cmd + K** and search for **Users**. 2. Open the profile of the user who is not receiving emails. 3. Open the **Notifications** tab. 4. In the **Email** column, confirm that **New Supply Requests** and **Updated Supply Requests** are both checked. 5. Click **Save Changes**. Those rows only appear if the user's role or custom modules include supply access (**Supplies (Request)**, **Supplies (Edit)**, or **Supplies (Set Quantity)**). If you do not see them, update the user's **Permissions** first. --- ### You Have Not Been Designated as a Recipient for This Location For each service location, users need to be designated as supply managers (email recipients) for company-fulfilled and/or customer-fulfilled items. You may not have been added for that location. 1. Open **Manage Locations** from your profile menu in the bottom-left corner, or press **Ctrl/Cmd + K** and search for **Manage Locations**. 2. Open the location. 3. Open the **Supplies** tab. 4. Click **Supplies Manager**. 5. Add the user under **Company Supplies Manager** (cleaning company fulfilled items), **Customer Supplies Manager** (customer fulfilled items), or both, depending on which requests they should receive. 6. Click **Save Changes**. Internal users with location access and supply request email notifications enabled may still receive an informational email even if they are not a Company or Customer Supplies Manager. That email lists **all** supply request items and begins with: **"This email is for your information only; you are not the designated supply manager for this location."** --- ### The Request Only Included Items for the Other Fulfillment Role If a supply request contains only items designated for the cleaning company to fulfill, and you are only a **Customer Supplies Manager** (or the reverse), you will not get that email. You only receive requests that include items for your designated role—unless you are set up for both, or you are receiving the informational (non-manager) email described above. --- ### You Are Unsubscribed from Email Notifications At the bottom of each Clean Smarts email is an unsubscribe link. If you—or anyone with access to the inbox, including someone you forwarded the email to—clicks that link, email notifications stop for that user until an administrator re-enables them. --- ### Tips and Troubleshooting **I don't see New Supply Requests on the Notifications tab.** The user's permissions need at least one supplies module. Open **Permissions**, add the relevant supplies access, save, then return to **Notifications**. **I enabled Email notifications but still get nothing.** Confirm the user is listed under **Supplies Manager** for that location (or has location access for the informational emails), and that the request includes items for their company/customer role. **Where did Supplies Managers move?** In the current web portal they are no longer on the main location details form. Open the location's **Supplies** tab and use the **Supplies Manager** button. - [Getting started](https://support.cleansmarts.com/getting-started?hsLang=en-us) - [Mobile App](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#getting-started) - [Timekeeping](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#timekeeping) - [Geofences](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#geofences) - [Shifts, Jobs & Work Orders](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#shifts-jobs-work-orders) - [Checklists, Tasks, and Scan Points](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#checklists-tasks-and-scan-points) - [Issues and Service Requests](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#issues-and-service-requests) - [Inspections](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#inspections) - [Supplies](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#supplies) - [Messaging and Notifications](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#messaging-and-notifications) - [Manager Features](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#manager-features) - [Offline, Sync & Troubleshooting](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#offline-sync-troubleshooting) - [Profile and Help](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#profile-and-help) - [Training](https://support.cleansmarts.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en-us#training) - [Web Portal](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [Checklists, Tasks, and Scan Points](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#checklists-tasks-and-scan-points) - [Users](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#users) - [Custom Fields](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#custom-fields) - [Geofences](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#geofences) - [Inspections](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#inspections) - [Issues and Service Requests](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#issues-and-service-requests) - [Locations and Sub-locations](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#locations-and-sub-locations) - [Messaging](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#messaging) - [Pay Rates and Job Costing](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#pay-rates-and-job-costing) - [Shifts and Scheduling](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#shifts-and-scheduling) - [Supplies](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#supplies) - [Time and Attendance](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#time-and-attendance) - [Translation](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#translation) - [Work Orders](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#work-orders) - [Assets and Equipment](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#assets-and-equipment) - [Billing and Subscriptions](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#billing-and-subscriptions) - [Integrations](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#integrations) - [Payroll](https://support.cleansmarts.com/web-portal?hsLang=en-us#payroll) - [Customer Portal](https://support.cleansmarts.com/customer-portal?hsLang=en-us#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://support.cleansmarts.com/customer-portal?hsLang=en-us#getting-started) - [Completed Work](https://support.cleansmarts.com/customer-portal?hsLang=en-us#completed-work) - [Quality](https://support.cleansmarts.com/customer-portal?hsLang=en-us#quality) - [Service Requests](https://support.cleansmarts.com/customer-portal?hsLang=en-us#service-requests) - [Messages](https://support.cleansmarts.com/customer-portal?hsLang=en-us#messages) - [Supplies](https://support.cleansmarts.com/customer-portal?hsLang=en-us#supplies) - [Notifications](https://support.cleansmarts.com/customer-portal?hsLang=en-us#notifications) [![](https://support.cleansmarts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/cleansmarts_logo_white_med.png?width=320&height=110&name=cleansmarts_logo_white_med.png)](https://www.cleansmarts.com/) Copyright © 2026, Clean Smarts
