How can I set up my service area?

Modified on Thu, 21 May at 1:30 AM

Your service area helps determine where you can receive booking notifications on Blys.

By default, your service area can be based on your real-time GPS location. You can also add fixed service areas, either by setting a radius around a location or by drawing a custom area directly on the map.

You can add more than one fixed service area, which is helpful if you work across different suburbs, cities, regions, or regular travel areas.

For Web App

Log into your Blys Pro account via our website > Pro Dashboard > Service Area
Under the "Service area" section, you can update your preferred service area to:
- Real-time service area | Receive jobs based on your current location: This means you'll be notified of bookings near your current location. You can set up your notification radius to 10km, 20km, 30km, 50km, and 100km.

Fixed service area | Receive jobs based on a fixed location: This means you'll be notified of bookings nearby your chosen location, even if you're on another job in a different city. You can add as many service areas as you like and it will appear in this section.
