Notifications
Live in the app, by e-mail and on your devices — and how to choose.
Live in the app
A task sent to you, refused, a mention or a task no longer blocked shows up at once, with a notification. The number of waiting tasks shows in the tab title. After the server is updated, open pages reload themselves when nothing is being edited.
By e-mail
With e-mail set up on the instance:
| Notification | Who gets it | By default |
|---|---|---|
| A task arrives in an incoming | the person, or the members of the team | at once |
| A task becomes yours | its new owner | at once |
| A task you sent is refused | the sender, with the reason | at once |
| A comment | the task's author and owner | daily digest |
| A mention | the person mentioned | at once, unless they are in the app |
| A task is no longer blocked | its author and owner | at once, unless they are in the app |
| Due dates | the owner: overdue tasks, and those due today and tomorrow | in the morning, at 8:00 |
In Settings, choose for each kind at once, daily digest or off, and the hour of the morning reminder.
- E-mails sent at once wait two minutes, to gather what follows; a task sends at most one e-mail every 15 minutes.
- Nothing is sent for what you do yourself.
- Confidential and team-only tasks are only named by their key: their content stays in the app.
- Every e-mail has an unsubscribe link.
On your devices
TasksPipes can be installed as an app, on a phone's home screen or from the browser's address bar. In Settings, turn on Notifications on this device: you then get a notification for what you chose to get at once, while TasksPipes is not open. A click opens the task. Signing out turns it off for that device.
