Notifications
The bell in the top bar.
What you get told about
Things needing attention or worth knowing: a connection that needs reauthorising, a sync that has failed several nights running, a post awaiting your approval, a publish that failed or expired unapproved, a comment left on a draft, a scan that produced comments worth reviewing, a scheduled DM you received, and more.
Click one to go to the thing it is about.
Notifications are per user
They are scoped to you, not to a brand. You see notifications from every brand you belong to in one place, which is right, since you have one bell and several brands.
Preferences
Your profile, then Notifications. Not in brand settings, because these are personal: you and a teammate on the same brand can want completely different things.
Per notification type, per channel (in app, email), toggle what you receive.
Notifications are opt out. A new type is on by default, so you find out about a new thing worth knowing rather than missing it because you never enabled it.
Push
Mobile push needs a device token registered, which the mobile app handles on sign-in. See Notification preferences for the API.
Badges are separate
The counts in the sidebar are not notifications, they are live counts:
| Badge | Counts |
|---|---|
| Ideas | Ideas at new |
| Approvals | Drafts awaiting review |
| Queue | Pending slots |
| Comments | Comments waiting to be posted |
| Inbox | Unread conversations |
| Settings | Connections needing reauthorisation |
They update as you work and cannot be turned off.
