Notification Categories

Under the Notification settings, you’ll find a detailed list of items for which you can set notifications.

1) Tasks (Click to Expand)

Notifications apply to tasks to which you're subscribed.

Tip: Watch the project to be automatically subscribed to all new tasks within that project. Learn more about watching projects.

Important: If you aren't watching the project, you won't receive notifications for new tasks even if task-related notifications are enabled in Settings > Notifications.

You can receive notifications in the following scenarios:

  • A new task is created or updated (and you are set as one of the subscribers).

  • A comment is left in the task feed.

  • If a To-Do is assigned to you or you are mentioned in the task, you’ll automatically become a subscriber (and get notified).

  • Before or after task start/end dates to stay on track.

2) Deals (Click to Expand)

Notifications apply to the deals whose owner you are or you’re watching, provided you have access to deals.

You’ll be notified when:

  • A deal is created and assigned to you as the owner.

  • Comments are made to the deal you are watching.

  • If a deal To-Do is assigned to you.

  • When the To-Do due date is coming up.

  • When you are mentioned in the deal feed (even if you are not watching it).

  • When an email gets assigned to the deal you are watching.

  • When the deal is shared with you.

Notes on Deal Access:

4) Invoices (Click to Expand)

Invoice notifications apply to invoices you are subscribed to, provided that you have permission to manage invoices and payments.


Tip: If you’re watching a budget, once an invoice draft is created, you’ll automatically be added as a subscriber to that invoice and will start receiving relevant notifications.

You'll get notified when an invoice is:

  • Created

  • Updated and you subscribed to it.

  • When someone leaves a comment in the invoice feed, and you are subscribed to the invoice.

  • When someone mentions you in the invoice feed.

  • When a payment is recorded and you are subscribed to the invoice.

  • And when an email is assigned to the invoice you are subscribed to.

Notes on Invoice Access:

  • Users with default permissions (Admin, Manager, Profitability Manager) can manage and access invoices.

  • For custom permission sets, the permission needed to manage all invoices and payments, which is needed to receive notifications about invoices and payments is "Add, edit, and delete invoices and payments".
