All things Notifications - Improvements and more to come!

All Things Notifications! We all know how bogged down we can get with notifications on every platform. Below you’ll find some new and improved enhancements regarding our notifications. We still have a long way to go but we’d love to get your feedback on what we’ve done so far and what you’d like to see next!

  1. Control your bell notifications! We’ve rolled out via monday.labs the ability to control what types of bell notifications you receive! To check this out go to your avatar menu > my profile > notifications. You have four notification types you can opt out from:
  • likes my update

  • replies to my update

  • replies or likes a conversation I’m a part of

  • subscribes me to a board/item.

2. We’ve redesigned our bell and push notifications! You can now see the first two lines on each notification in your notification dialog as well as the profile picture in desktop notifications!

Bell Notification:

We added profile pictures to our desktop notification:

Now, something to look forward to!
3. Mark all as read & notification settings straight from the dialog! Coming soon to everyone!
Here you’ll have the quick buttons to delete, mark as read/unread and navigate to notification settings page with just one click!

Coming Soon: Bell Notification Tabs

You’ll be able to toggle between different tabs based on your notifications: all, unread, I was mentioned and assigned to me.

We’d love to hear your feedback here as we continue to improve our notifications across the platform. Is something missing for you? Do you like the improvements but have some additional ideas? We want to hear from you! Your feedback is valuable as we continue to enhance this area within monday.com.

Love that the Delete is now easier to click. What would be even better would be a “Delete All” in the same area as “Mark All as Read”

I’m trying to spread out the automated bell notifcations across several different boards. Is there a way to see all the different automated notifications across different boards to set up a better schedule?

I’m not sure why but I’m not seeing these same improvements on my account. I have activated the new notifications within Monday labs but I don’t see most of these features. Particularly being able to turn of a notification when be subscribed. Am I supposed to do something else to get this?

I’ve just looked @Miltime19 and I don’t have those new things in #1 that @lauralev mentioned. :thinking:

It’s coming @Krishele!!

@Krishele and @Miltime19 - thanks for your replies! We are testing this to a small population before a full rollout but you should expect to see this on your accounts soon! Feel free to circle back to me here in a few weeks time if you still do not have this option :slight_smile:

Great question - this might be more suited for our automations team (@melissav-monday.com) but at the moment there is not a way to view this. I love this idea though and I think we have more room for improvement when it comes to managing your automations account wide! Cheers!

Still waiting to be able to turn off notifications for boards I’m subscribed to…that would be great!

Bell notification tabs just showed up for me and I want to just say this is a critical component for me. I have my team sending me notes via different channels and it’s been a bit hard to keep track of unread especially if I missed something from a few days ago.

Also where can I get these socks? :slight_smile:

Has this feature been rolled out? Looking at my profile, I only have the option of desktop (yes) & email (no!) notifications. I would love to control bell notifications but do not see that feature shown.

Or at least snooze notifications for a while. I was in the middle of a presentation and got 100+ notifications in a row and could not make it stop!

I still don’t seem to have the options that you listed. I am circling back around as you suggested so that I too may see these improvements on my account.

We’ve been with monday for 2 years and continue to struggle with getting much of the team to use it. One of the key pain points is the notifications and inbox confusion. There are too many places to look for things and keep track of them. The changes above certainly help, but please consider the following:

  1. Get rid of “inbox.” It’s confusing and redundant.
  2. Replace the small notifications panel with a whole new space that fills the window and organizes two groups of messages: Conversations and Notifications. The conversations area would allow me to see when I was mentioned and did not reply, but also al updates on an item I’m involved with. More space would allow people to read most of each message and not have to switch through tabs.
  3. Leave the number of unread notifications visible, instead of going back to zero when I open the notifications panel. If I have not interacted with a notification, I want to continue seeing that.

Our team has been enthusiastically addicted to Slack for many years because they focus on clean, swift communication as the best way to get things done. Monday.com needs to improve in this regard.

I can only agree to what Wesley said.

I have a hard time explaining new people I am onboarding why they have to use both.
My Project mangers are annoyed that they have to click two times to get rid of an update.
We need to have all Updates also in the Bell because answer to Updates are not shown again in the Inbox once the “Main”- Update was marked as read.

I agree with Wesley as well …and if Inbox is staying it needs an option to “Mark all as read” because it’s too much work to go in unnecessarily to clear each message by checking individual checkmarks.

I cannot find “Mark all read” on my mobile IPad app. Is it available there? Need it so much :dizzy_face:

I agree inbox and bell is redundant, I get a bell notification if an automation is fired and get an email that an email was set out… ITS THE SAME THING.
