The phone numbers and email addresses on a tribe, where each one shows up, and the formatting rules.

Last updated September 2, 2026


The About tab holds the details customers actually see. They are worth getting right — several of them appear in emails your customers receive.

Public Telephone NumberYour website, and the appointment confirmation telling customers who to call to reschedule.

The public phone number does real work

As well as appearing on your website, it is how inbound calls are matched to a tribe, and it is printed in the appointment confirmation email as the number to ring. A wrong or blank number there means customers cannot reschedule.

The sending address is a local part only

DO NOT TYPE THE @DOMAIN
Enter just the part before the @ — hello, not hello@company.com. The domain is added from your verified sending domain and shown beside the field. The form refuses an address containing a domain. This field also stays locked until a sending domain exists for the tribe.

The notification SMS number is strict

On the Notifications tab, the number that receives enquiry alerts must be in full international format — +14155551234, with a country code and no spaces, dashes or brackets. Punctuation is stripped for you, but a number typed without a country code will be saved and then rejected by the network, silently.

Timezone matters more than it looks

A new tribe inherits the organisation's timezone. It then decides when appointment slots fall, which day a sale is counted in, when a scheduled campaign goes out for this tribe, when membership charges are raised, and when reports are sent.

CHECK IT WHEN YOU OPEN IN A NEW REGION
A tribe in another timezone that inherited head office's will report its sales against the wrong day and send its campaigns at the wrong hour. It is a one-field fix that is easy to overlook when opening a branch interstate or overseas.

Restricted email domains

Some organisations restrict which email domains their tribes may use. If yours does, saving an address on another domain is refused with a message naming the domains allowed. An address that was already there before the rule was introduced is left alone, so the tribe can still save its other changes.
