Notifications & Do Not Disturb
What breaks through, what doesn't, and how to quiet things down.
Notifications tell you when something needs you — a mention, an assignment, a meeting summary that's ready, a check-in somebody asked for. You control what gets through.
What you can be notified about
| Notification | Default |
|---|---|
| Mentions & direct messages | On |
| Being assigned work | On |
| Due-date reminders | On |
| Meeting summary ready | On |
| Checklist activity on your tasks | On |
| Status check-ins asked of you | On |
| Channel activity (unmuted channels) | On |
| Announcements | On |
| Time-off requests and decisions | On |
Everything collects in the bell in the top nav, and optionally by email. Adjust each type in Settings → Notifications.
Do Not Disturb
Turn on Do Not Disturb to silence notifications for a while, or set recurring quiet hours. Setting your status to Do not disturb, Out sick or Out of office silences them too — see Presence & status.
Clearing the bell
It hides notifications, activity and prompts up to that moment. Nothing is destroyed and your activity history is intact. It deliberately does not mark unread chat as read — those messages really are unread, and pretending otherwise loses real information.
If notifications feel noisy, mute the busiest channels and keep mentions on. You'll still get pulled in when something is actually about you.
