List of Notification Triggers

Overview

The Notifications tab is a place to quickly view or manage notifications for the projects in which you are a team member. All your notifications are available in one place in Nimble Café, along with updates from discussions, kudos, and member invites.

If you have new notifications, the notification count is displayed in the left panel on the Home icon. This count represents the combined total of updates from workitems, discussions, kudos, member invites, and notifications. Click the Notifications tab to view all notifications. Notifications from the last three months are displayed in chronological order.

You can set notifications to be received for various important events in a project. For example, you can set a notification email to be sent whenever a new workitem is assigned to you. The email is sent to your registered email ID based on the frequency configured in Notification Settings, when an event occurs in the selected project.
