Sisu includes a watch list feature on every transaction. Users added to this list, known as Watchers, are automatically notified whenever updates are made to a transaction form. This helps ensure key team members stay informed of any changes throughout the transaction process. Whether you prefer automated convenience or manual control, we give you the flexibility to manage watcher settings in a way that fits your workflow.

How To Automate Watchers

Some information in this section is accessible only by Admin and TC users in Sisu.

By default, the following users are automatically added as Watchers to their transactions:

  • Agents

  • TCs

  • ISAs

This automation helps streamline communication, but you also have full control to manually manage watchers on a per transaction basis.

You can also choose to automatically add Admin users as Watchers on all transactions. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. in the Miscellaneous section, locate the "Automatically add all admins as transaction watchers" setting.

  2. Click the Enable button to the right of the setting.

Once enabled, Admin users will automatically be added as Watchers to all transactions. They can be removed manually on a per transaction basis if needed.
