One push before coffee. The one thing that matters.
Every morning, the Redline iPhone app sends a single push with the most important thing on your plate: a reminder you set, the day's first visit, a follow-up, money owed. One thing, not a digest you'll swipe away. Reminders you set by chat ride along in the same push on the day you picked.
Setting reminders in passing
Set for Thursday. It'll be in that morning's push.
Added a 2:00 callback with Reilly to tomorrow's calendar.
Reminders are by the day. Anything with a clock time goes on the calendar as an event.
Getting the brief
Install the iPhone app
The brief is a push notification, so it needs the Redline for Contractors app with notifications allowed. See the iPhone app.
Pick your hour
Choose any hour from 5 to 11am, local time. It starts at 8am until you change it.
Read one line, start the day
Each morning you get the single top priority. Tap it to open Redline and deal with it.
What it can lead with
Redline checks these in order and sends the first one that matters today. The examples show the kind of thing each covers.
| Category | For example |
|---|---|
| Reminders | The supply house call you set for Thursday |
| Schedule | Your first visit of the day and where it is |
| Follow-ups | A lead waiting on a call back |
| Money | An invoice past due and who to call (Solo and up) |
| Setup | A step you haven't finished, like adding your first customer |
| Quiet days | An open day you could fill |
Reminders, and the other alerts on your phone
Date reminders by chat
"Remind me the 14th to order the trusses." Up to a year out, up to 280 characters. They show up in that day's morning push.
Payment received
A push the moment a customer pays an invoice on its pay link. Needs Solo or higher.
Overdue chasing
Pushes at day 3, 7 and 14 on unpaid invoices, telling you who to call. See overdue alerts.
Quote requests
A push when someone fills out the form on your Pro Page, and a nudge in the next morning brief.
Community and support
Replies and answers in the community, follows and connections, and replies from Redline to your feedback.
Your switches
Turn each type on or off in Settings, under Notifications. Chasing alerts follow the Chasing switch in Money.
Straight answers before you switch
Redline does

- Ping you at a clock time (reminders ride the morning push, and calendar events don't send pushes)
Questions contractors ask
Do I need the iPhone app?
Yes. The morning brief, reminders and every alert on this page are push notifications sent only to the iPhone app. On the web you still have the calendar, the pipeline and Home, but nothing gets pushed to you.
Why only one thing?
Because a list of twelve things gets swiped away. The brief picks the one that matters most today. Ask the chat "what's on today?" for the full picture.
Which plan includes it?
Every plan, Free included. Payment and overdue alerts come with invoicing on Solo and up. See pricing.
Can I set a reminder for 3pm?
Reminders are by the day and land in the morning push. For a set time, ask Redline to put a callback or visit on the calendar instead. Calendar events don't send a push of their own, but the day's schedule can lead the morning brief.
