How notifications work in Upbase

In Upbase, notifications help you stay updated on the things that matter to you.

When you receive notifications

You receive notifications when:

• You’re a watcher of a task, doc, file, link, or message, and

  There’s new activity, such as:

  • New comments
  • Due date or priority changes
  • Assignee changes
  • Tasks marked as complete

How watchers work

• Anyone can add themselves or others to the watchers list of a task, doc, file, link, or message to get notified about updates
• Anyone assigned to a task automatically becomes a watcher
• Anyone who creates a task automatically becomes a watcher
• Anyone mentioned in a comment automatically becomes a watcher

Manage watchers

• Open a task.
• Click the 👁️ Eye icon in the task details.
• Add or remove people from the watchers list.

The notifications panel

You’ll see two notification icons in the top-right of the app:

• Chat notifications

  Shown by the # icon. These include all updates from Chat.

• Other notifications

  Shown by the 🔔 bell icon. These include everything else.

Clear notifications

• Click a notification icon to see unread notifications.
• Click the blue dot next to a notification to mark it as read.
• Click Mark all as read to clear all notifications at once.

Notification settings

You can customize your notifications at:

Settings → Personal → Notifications

Email notifications

Choose how you receive notifications by email:

• Everything – Get all notifications related to you
• Only @mentions – Get emails only when someone mentions you
• Nothing – Don’t receive email notifications

Browser notifications

You can also turn browser notifications on or off.

• Browser notifications are separate from email notifications
• You can choose which types of notifications you receive, just like email

Stop receiving notifications from an item

If you no longer want updates from a task, doc, file, or message:

1. Open the item.
2. Click the 👁️ Eye icon.
3. Remove yourself from the watchers list.

You’ll stop receiving notifications for that item.
