Notification Settings

FluentBoards Notification Settings give you control over how and when you receive notifications for your board updates. You can customize notifications to match your workflow, choosing alerts for specific actions like task assignments, comments, or due date changes.

This guide will show you how to configure notification settings for individual tasks and entire boards, helping you stay updated.

Email Notification Settings

To enable or disable your notification settings, click on your Profile Image in the top right corner of your FluentBoards Dashboard, then select Notifications from the left sidebar.

Under Email Notification Preferences, toggle Enable All to turn every notification on or off at once, or toggle individual options. Once you're done, click the Save button to apply your changes.

Here, you'll find various types of options for receiving notifications, which include:

• Watch created tasks: Subscribe for notifications for cards you create.
• Watch on commenting: Subscribe for notifications for a task if you comment or reply on it.
• Watch on assigning: Subscribe for notifications for a task if you assign someone to it.
• Comment: New comments added on a task you are watching.
• Stage Changed: Stage has been changed of a task you are watching.
• Assigned to a task: You are assigned to a new task.
• Dates: Dates has been updated of a task you are watching.
• Task Archived: Tasks you are watching are archived.
• Removed from a task: You are removed from a task.

NOTE

FluentBoards notification emails have a fresh design. They switch between light and dark mode automatically to match your email app's appearance setting.

Board Notification Settings

You have the option to get notifications for specific boards as well. To do this, navigate to the board for which you want to customize notifications, then click on the Three Dot button in the top right corner. A Board Menu popup will appear, select Notification Settings from here.

A Notification Settings panel will open for this board. Toggle Same as Global Settings on if you'd rather this board just follow your account-wide preferences instead, or click Go to Settings to manage those directly.

Otherwise, toggle Enable All or the individual options below to personalize the notifications for this particular board:

• Watch created tasks: Subscribe for notifications for cards you create.
• Watch on commenting: Subscribe for notifications for a task if you comment or reply on it.
• Watch on assigning: Subscribe for notifications for a task if you assign someone to it.
• Comment: Get alerts when someone leaves a new comment on a task you're watching.
• Stage Changed: Get alerts when a task you're following reaches a new stage.
• Assigned to a task: Get alerts whenever a new task is given to you.
• Dates: Get alerts when a task you are following updates in terms of its dates.
• Task Archived: Get alerts when a task you are watching is archived.
• Removed from a task: Get alerts when you are removed from a task.

Once you're done, click the Save button to apply your notification changes.

Pause Notifications

Going on holiday or working toward a deadline? You can pause your email and in-app notifications for a while. A pause only affects you. Board invitations still arrive, so nobody is left waiting on you.

Pause All Boards

Click on your Profile Image in the top right corner of your FluentBoards Dashboard, then select Notifications from the left sidebar.

Here you will see the Mute Notifications section. Click the Pause notifications dropdown and choose how long to pause:

• Until tomorrow
• Until next Monday
• For one week
• Until I turn it back on
• Choose date and time...: Pick your own date and time to resume.

Pause One Board

Just head over to the board, click the three Dot button, and select Notification Settings. The Mute Notifications section sits at the top of the panel. Choose a pause option from the Pause notifications dropdown. Your other boards keep notifying you as usual.

Notifications come back on their own at the time you chose. To turn them back on sooner, open the same section and click Resume notifications.
