Notifications keep you in the loop when something needs your attention: a mention, a shared resource, a workspace invite, a billing alert, or a message from an agent or automation 🔔
Agents and automations: an agent or an automation you set up pings you when a job finishes or needs a decision.
Workspace activity: invitations, shares, mentions, and broadcasts from members of your workspaces.
Computers and jobs: hibernation, workflow errors, budget warnings, and auto-termination.
Billing: usage thresholds, a low credit balance, and auto top-up confirmations.
Support: replies to your support tickets.
Every notification type can reach you on up to three channels. Control each channel per type in Settings → Notifications.
In-app: the bell in the sidebar, always on for routine events.
Email: sent to the address on your account, best for things you need to see while offline.
Web push: system push on supported browsers and phones, enabled once per device.
When another member, an agent, or the API tries to reach you on a channel you turned off, your choice wins and that channel is skipped. Account-critical messages such as billing receipts and security alerts are the exception, because they always reach you on the channels they need.
Set a daily window when email and web push go silent while the in-app inbox keeps working. Pick a timezone so the window follows your location rather than UTC.
A few time-critical alerts still come through during quiet hours: a computer's auto-termination, a usage warning at 90 percent of a limit, and a computer workflow error. Everything else waits until the window ends.
Click a notification to open it and mark it read. Use Mark all as read to clear the unread badge in one step. Archive a notification to file it away without it counting toward your unread count.
Most notifications carry a deep link: clicking one in the bell, an email, or a push takes you straight to the chat, file, workspace, computer, or billing page it is about.
Some also offer action buttons, such as Accept or Reject on an invitation. These run a single action and skip the trip through the app. They work the same in the bell, in email, and in push actions on supported platforms.
Links carry no secret access token, so they need your normal signed-in session. If you open an emailed invitation while signed out, the button takes you through the usual sign-in and then to the destination.
An agent with the notifications permission can ping you
when a task finishes. It cannot override the channels you turned off,
and sends are capped at 100 per 24 hours per sender. A single message
to several people counts as one send. Revoke the permission in the
agent's settings to stop future sends.
The same limits apply to notifications sent through the API or CLI.
