Text Alerts
I saw in a post from 2021 that it may be possible to receive text alerts about Speedies and Contests. Is this correct? If so, where can I turn on those notifications?
I have just recently (in the past month) been having trouble accepting projects quickly enough. Even when I immediately accept the project, wait for the timer, and click the second accept button, the project will come up as "Not Assignable". When I go back to check on the project right after seeing that message, I find that another pro accepted the projected "a few seconds ago". This has been pretty frustrating, especially as I've been trying to work on Bunny Studio more in the past couple of months. Any tips for being able to accept projects more quickly would be appreciated. I read through one other article already and saw that setting good rates and having good stats are important so I've already adjusted my rates and will be working on bringing my stats up.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Heidi
Thanks for reaching out!
At the moment our SMS alert system sends alerts only for Bookings and revisions requested on speedies and contests, but not for the main invitations. Could you share with me the article you mentioned to check it and see if we have to make any corrections?
A great tip to accept projects faster is to also keep a tab open with your dashboard, since projects can appear there a couple of minutes before the invitation reaches your email, so that could give you a slight edge that could help you accept projects faster.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Kind regards,
Daniel
Hello Daniel,
Thank you for your help! The conversation I referred to is here: https://help.bunnystudio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500000740821-Cannot-Accept-Speedies-Fast-Enough. It's in the first time that "Scooter Clarke" comments.
I do keep that tab open and am sometimes sitting at my computer when a project comes in so I accept it within 2 seconds. Yet somehow, it seems like there's often another pro who accepted 2 seconds ahead of me. It didn't used to happen so often, but it's happened quite a bit in the last few weeks. I want to work through Bunny Studio, but the "2-second race" is getting frustrating...

Hi Heidi,
Thanks for the link!
I should have mentioned on that thread the conditions that create an SMS message specifically for speedies and contests, which is when a revision is requested, apologies for the confusion.
As you could see on that thread, another thing you could try is to experiment a bit with your rates, since invitation batches are created by a mix of stats+rates, lower rates will, in most cases, help Pros receive invitations on earlier batches. The exception is when a Pro has amazing stats. In a case like that, a Pro can keep a higher set of rates and still be invited on the first batches to projects.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Kind regards,
Daniel
