6. Your message will then be submitted and your potential match will be notified that they have a new message on their account. A record of all messages you send to other members can be viewed from the Inbox tab at the bottom of the pageFrom here it's easy to send follow up messages and even Ask to share once you are happy to form a team.

 

How are members notified when I send messages?

 

When you send a message to another member, Liftshare will immediately notify this member via email and push notification that they have a new message. If after 5 hours the member does not reply to your message, another notification is sent. Liftshare sends further reminders to the member after 24 hours and 48 hours, if they have still not responded. 

Important: As a security measure we are unable to provide members with contact details of another member until a request to share has been accepted. If a member has a contact number associated with their account, then these details will be included in the confirmation email sent to both parties when a request to share has been accepted.
