Timed Auction Notifications Explained
How Auctions Live keeps agents, bidders, and auctioneers in sync
Throughout a timed auction, Auctions Live automatically sends out a range of communications to Selling Agents, Auctioneers, and Bidders. These notifications are designed to keep everyone informed in real-time and ensure that no critical updates are missed. Below is a complete list of the event-triggered messages our platform sends, along with who receives them and through which channels.
These alerts are designed to support transparency, efficiency, and engagement throughout the auction process - whether you're monitoring changes, managing registrations, or tracking bids.
