🔔 Understanding the canvas notification system in Allo
Currently, different canvas notifications are being sent out in Allo based on whether you are a subscriber of the canvas or not. In this manual, we will walk you through what kind of canvas notifications you will get when you are not a canvas subscriber, when you are a canvas subscriber, and how you can manually subscribe (or unsubscribe) to a canvas when needed.
By default, Allo sends out notifications when:
- Someone invites you into a project or a canvas
- Someone assigns or mentions you in a canvas
- Someone leaves a comment on an element you created
- Someone replies to a comment you're part of
However, if you are a subscriber of a particular canvas, you will get additional notifications whenever:
- Canvas reminders are sent out
- Someone adds a chat or comment in the canvas
- Someone starts a video chat in the canvas
- The name of the canvas is changed
- The date and time of the canvas is changed
- The canvas is moved to another project
- The canvas permission is changed from public to private or vise versa
- The canvas is deleted
You will be automatically subscribed to the canvas if you meet one of the criteria below:
- You created the canvas
- You edited the canvas more than one time
- You are invited to the canvas through email
- You are an assignee or a collaborator of the canvas
- You are mentioned in the canvas
If you do not meet any of the criteria above, you can also manually subscribe to a canvas by clicking the bell icon and selecting "Get notifications" in the right sidebar under canvas details when being inside the canvas.
