Notifications

Konduit keeps you in the loop through notifications — short alerts about things that happen to your work: someone @mentions you, assigns you a task, comments on a task you follow, or an automation fires. Notifications are per-user — each person sees only their own — and are delivered two ways: in-app through the bell in the top navigation, and (optionally) by email.

The bell

The bell lives in the top-right action cluster, next to Search. A red badge shows how many items need your attention; it caps at 99+. Click the bell to open the panel.

On desktop the panel is an anchored dropdown. On mobile it slides in as a full-height side panel. Either way it has two tabs:

  • Notifications — your alerts (mentions, comments, assignments, and so on).
  • Approvals — automation actions that are waiting on your decision. These are surfaced separately because they're action-required. See Automations.

The badge counts unread notifications plus pending approvals, so a single number tells you how many things to look at.

Read and unread

Unread notifications sort to the top and are marked with a blue dot and a highlighted row. Read ones fall below.

  • Click a notification to mark it read and jump straight to the linked item — the task, datatable row, or other page it refers to.
  • Mark all read clears the unread state for everything at once (the button appears whenever you have unread items).

New notifications arrive in real time — when something happens while you're in the app, the bell badge ticks up and a small pop-up appears with the alert, without a page refresh.

What triggers a notification

Event You're notified when…
Mention Someone @mentions you in a comment or task description
Assignment You're assigned or unassigned from a task
Comment A comment is added to a task you're assigned to or watching
Status change A task you're assigned to changes status
Attachment added A file is added to a task you watch
Form submission Someone submits a form you created (when configured)
Routine A scheduled query (Routine) sends its result
Automation An automation rule runs a send notification action targeting you
Approval An automation needs your approval before it continues

You are never notified about your own actions, and actions taken by the AI assistant (the bot) don't generate notifications.

Who gets notified

For task activity, recipients are worked out from watchers, assignees, and mentions:

  • Watchers — click Watch on a task to follow it. A watcher set to all activity is notified on comments, status changes, assignee changes, and attachments. Assignees are watched automatically.
  • Assignees — always notified about status changes, comments, and assignment changes on their tasks.
  • Mentioned people — always notified when @mentioned, whether or not they watch the task. @-mentioning a member group notifies each member.

@Mentions

Typing @ in a comment or a task description and picking a teammate sends them a mention notification (in-app and, unless they've muted it, email). Mentions are the most direct way to pull someone in — they cut through watcher and assignee rules and reach the person no matter what.

Delivery channels

Every eligible notification is delivered in-app. Most types can also send an email, so you hear about important activity even when you're not in the app. Email is in addition to in-app — turning off email for a type keeps the in-app alert.

Task emails cover comments, mentions, status changes, assignments, and attachments, and include a link straight to the task. Every email has an unsubscribe link.

Preferences

Control what reaches you at Settings → Notifications. Each event type has an independent In-App and Email toggle:

Event type Description
Mentions When someone @mentions you in a comment or description
Assignments When you're assigned or unassigned from a task
Comments New comments on tasks you're following
Status Changes When a task you're assigned to changes status
Form Submissions When someone submits a form you created
Routines Routine result emails from scheduled queries
Automations Notifications triggered by automation rules

Everything is on by default — it's an opt-out model, so you only ever turn things off. Click the In-App or Email column header to mute or enable an entire channel in one move. Save your changes with Save Preferences.

If you mute mentions, Konduit warns you: you won't be pulled in even when someone @mentions you directly. That's usually not what you want.

Automation alerts

Automation rules can notify people directly with a send notification action, which delivers an in-app alert (and an optional email) to the users you pick. These respect each recipient's notification preferences for the Automations type. See Automations for how to build one.
