Configuring Notifications

Global Settings

1

Open Notification Settings

Go to Settings > Notifications from the user menu in the top-right corner.
2

Choose Delivery Methods

For each event type, choose your preferred delivery method: In-App, Email, Push, or any combination.
3

Set Email Digest Frequency

Choose between Instant (one email per event), Daily Digest (summary at 9 AM), or Weekly Digest (summary on Monday mornings).
4

Set Quiet Hours

Optionally configure quiet hours during which no push or email notifications are sent (e.g., 10 PM to 8 AM).

Per-Board Settings

Override your global settings for specific boards. For example, you might want instant notifications for your team’s sprint board but only daily digests for a reference board. Click the bell icon in the board header to configure board-specific notification preferences.

Subscribing to Items

Click the Subscribe button on any item to receive all updates for that item, regardless of whether you are assigned or mentioned. Unsubscribe at any time from the same button.
You are automatically subscribed to items you create or are assigned to. You can unsubscribe from individual items without affecting your assignment.

Notification Center

Click the bell icon in the top-right corner to open the notification center. Features include:
  • Unread tab showing notifications you have not seen yet
  • All tab showing your complete notification history
  • Mark all as read button to clear the badge count
  • Filter by notification type (mentions, assignments, updates)
  • Click any notification to jump directly to the relevant item

Do Not Disturb

Enable Do Not Disturb mode from the notification center to temporarily pause all notifications. Set a duration (1 hour, 4 hours, until tomorrow, or custom) and resume at any time.
Do Not Disturb pauses delivery of notifications. You will still see them in the notification center when you turn DND off — nothing is lost.

Email Unsubscribe

Every email notification includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Clicking it will disable email notifications for that specific event type while keeping other email notifications active.
