Configure admin notifications

Never miss what matters. Get notified when users comment on posts you're tracking or when teammates change statuses so you can respond quickly and keep the conversation going.

Overview

Access Notifications from Admin → Notifications in the sidebar. You'll see:

  • New comments on posts you're subscribed to
  • Status changes from teammates
  • Activity that needs your attention

Notifications Interface

The notifications header displays:

  • Total count - Total number of notifications
  • Unread count - Number of unread notifications (shown as badge)
  • Mark all as read - Button to clear all unread indicators

Notification List

Each notification shows:

  • Activity type icon
  • Post title and description
  • Who triggered the notification
  • When it happened
  • Read/unread indicator

Click a notification to navigate to the relevant post.

Notification Behavior

Real-time Updates

Notifications appear in real-time as activity happens. The unread count in the sidebar updates automatically.

No Duplicates

You won't receive duplicate notifications for the same event, even if you're subscribed through multiple means (creator + commenter).

Self-Actions

You won't receive notifications for your own actions (your own comments, status changes you make).

Best Practices

Manage Your Subscriptions

Keep your notifications relevant by:

  1. Subscribing to high-priority posts you're working on
  2. Unsubscribing from resolved posts
  3. Checking notifications regularly to stay responsive

Respond to feedback

When you receive a notification about a new comment:

  1. Open the post from the notification
  2. Review the comment context
  3. Respond or take action as needed
  4. The notification is marked as read

Stay on top of changes

Check notifications daily to catch status changes made by other team members. This helps maintain alignment on feedback priorities.

Access

All team members (Admins and Members) have access to the notifications page. Notifications are personal - you only see notifications for posts you're subscribed to.
