Misc

An overview of key features and important usage notes for Papershift Pulse.

Activity Log (Auditing)

Pulse continuously logs who performed which action and when – for example, creating, editing, or deleting an employee.

Note

This history is currently not directly accessible via the interface. If you’re interested, feel free to contact us. The feature is already technically available.

Soft Deletes Instead of Data Loss

Pulse does not perform hard deletions. Instead, we use what’s called soft deletes. This means: deleted content can be restored.

Tip

If you accidentally delete something, you can contact our support team. In many cases, we can restore the original state.

Account Deletion

As long as you have the necessary rights and there is no active subscription, you can delete your Pulse account at any time. To do this, go to the account settings, then to “General” > “Edit Account” and click on “Delete Account”.

The account is then immediately deactivated, and no user can log in or receive notifications. This step is not yet a final deletion, so you can still contact us if you change your mind. We delete accounts after about 60 days.

Using Pulse as a PWA

Pulse is available as a Progressive Web App (PWA), allowing you to use it like a regular app.

Recommendation: Google Chrome

We recommend using Google Chrome – on desktop or mobile.

To install the app:

1. Open https://pulse.papershift.com in the Chrome browser.
2. Click the install icon or select “Add to Home screen” from the menu.
3. Pulse will now appear as an app on your device.

Push Notifications

When you’re in a chat and receive new messages, push notifications will inform you directly in your browser or on your phone.

Tip

Enable push notifications after logging in so you don’t miss any updates.

Managing Multiple Accounts (Multi-Accounting)

You can switch between multiple accounts with a single login – for example:

• between different companies
• between business and private use (e.g., association)

How it works:

1. Click on your avatar in the top right.
2. In the left column, find the All Accounts section.
3. Click the desired account to switch.

Caution

You can be logged into two different accounts in two different browser tabs at the same time. But: Never as two different users of the same account!

Create a new account:

1. Click + New Account.
2. Enter a name.
3. Accept the terms and conditions by checking the box.
4. Click Create Account.

You’re now in the new account and ready to get started.
