Notifications settings

There are three notifications options you can set as you like: Detail level, receiving emails and the notification sound.

Go to the settings:

  1. Press more button (three dots) at the notification center.
  2. Select Settings.

Detail level

Exactly the same way as with activity stream, you can set one of three activity detail levels. Choose an option and receive only notifications you want. 

Notification detail levels are as follows:

  • Everything: at this level, everything that is a board or card activity is being shown
  • Relevant: you will see a mix of most relevant card activities including comments
  • Comments: only comments and no other activities (including mentions in notes and to-do items)

Find out the exact differences between detail levels.

The detail level will work from the date when you change the settings. It will not work for notifications which you have received before configuration.

Email notifications

If the email notification option is on, you will receive email with information about the number of unread notification. You can set to get an email after every:

  • 15 minutes,
  • 60 minutes,
  • 24 hours.

Remember to add an email address at your user profile.
