# Notifications

> Stay informed about comments, mentions, task updates, and team activity in your Orbis workspace.

Notifications keep you up to date on activity across your workspace — comments, @mentions, task assignments, due dates, and more.

## Viewing notifications

Click the **bell icon** in the top-right corner of the app to open the notifications popover. Notifications appear in a feed with the most recent at the top.

Each notification includes:

* Who triggered it (e.g., a teammate who mentioned you)
* What happened (e.g., "mentioned you in a comment on Jane Smith")
* A direct link to the relevant record

Click any notification to navigate directly to the record it references.

## What triggers notifications

| Event                                    | Notification sent to         |
| ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **@mention in a comment**                | The mentioned team member    |
| **Comment on a record you're following** | All followers of that record |
| **Task assigned to you**                 | The assignee                 |
| **Task due date reached**                | The assignee                 |
| **Agent requires approval**              | Board members / admins       |
| **Invitation to organization**           | The invitee (via email)      |

## Real-time updates

Notifications are delivered in real-time — you don't need to refresh the page. When a new notification arrives, the bell icon shows an unread indicator.

## Managing notifications

* **Mark as read** — notifications are marked as read when you click them
* **Notification preferences** — configure which notifications you receive in **Settings → Notifications**

<Tip>
  If you're getting too many notifications, adjust your preferences in Settings. You can turn off notifications for specific event types while keeping the ones that matter.
