Notifications

Flat can send you real-time notifications when other users make changes in Flat that affect you, like making you the owner of a topic or mentioning you in a comment.

You can configure your notification settings by clicking your avatar in the upper right corner and choosing Settings, then visiting the Personal Settings | Notifications section.

Email

To avoid overwhelming your inbox, Flat intelligently sends you email notifications only for events it considers important, such as:

  • When a teammate mentions you in a comment, assigns you a blocker, requests your follow-up on a thread, or makes you the owner of or a collaborator on a topic.
  • When a teammate changes a topic that you own, collaborate on, or have subscribed to notifications for, and the change is important, e.g., when a teammate moves the topic between stages or adds a blocker.

Slack

Flat will send you real-time Slack notifications for all events in Flat that affect you, such as:

  • When a teammate mentions you in a comment, assigns you a blocker, requests your follow-up on a thread, or makes you the owner of or a collaborator on a topic.
  • When a teammate changes a topic that you own, collaborate on, or have subscribed to notifications for.
