Task Notifications
If you want your team to get updated of incomplete tasks on a daily or weekly basis, you can set up a notification frequency on a project-by-project basis. Your team can also choose to receive tasks notifications directly by slack or email.
To set your notification preferences when creating a new project, click Add Project on the Projects page. On the Project Creation page, under the Notification Preferences section, you can choose to send weekly project reports to the project owner or project manager, and select an update reminder frequency for incomplete tasks. You are also able to enter in a Slack channel that notifications will be sent to. These reminders are sent in the morning around 7 am ET to the specified Slack Channel.
To set your notification preferences for an existing project, on the project Overview tab, click on the edit icon in the Company section. This will bring you to the project edit page, where you can enter in the same notification settings as on the project creation page.
Users will receive update reminders for any open tasks assigned to them with a start date equal to the sent date of the reminder or prior. The update reminder will ask them to update their hours and include a link to the project task.
If a user wants to receive a direct message just for their tasks, they can choose to receive notifications by Slack or email.
To enable personnel Slack and Email notifications, go to Home > My Preferences > Personal Information and enter your Slack Member ID in the field on the top right-hand side of the page.
You can find your Slack Member ID by clicking on your name and the ellipsis icon under your account photo.
In order to receive project update reminder notifications via slack or email, users must have the setting enabled in their My Preferences page under the Site Settings tab. There are two check boxes: Project Email Notification and Project Slack Notification. If both boxes are checked, the user will receive project notifications via slack and email. Users can check one or the other or neither.
Note
Users will still receive project notifications in the notification icon in the system .
