Notifications & inbox
Learn how to manage your notifications and inbox to stay informed about important updates in your workspace
Notifications & Inbox
You can receive notifications of activity in Superthread directly within Superthread Inbox, a daily email digest, or within Slack.
Inbox
All Superthread notifications go to your Superthread Inbox. This should feel similar to using an email inbox where you can view a notification and take action on it all from within the Inbox.
Notifications can be:
- New – this is the number/counter you see in the sidebar. It will be reset to zero and disappear when you open your Inbox.
- Unread – this is indicated by a dot on each notification in your Inbox. Opening a notification will automatically mark it as ‘read’.
- Resolved – you can mark a notification as resolved to indicate that you have dealt with it and hide it from your Inbox. Resolved notifications can be viewed by setting the filter at the top of your Inbox to show ‘Everything’.
Keyboard shortcuts
We support common email inbox keyboard shortcuts for helping you do this quickly:
⬆⬇

K
keyboard arrows to move to the next/previous notification.
E
to resolve the currently selected notification.
Slack notifications
To turn on personal Slack notifications, go to Settings > Account > Notifications and connect your Slack user to Superthread. Then choose what you would like to be notified of.
Slack notifications are instant. All notifications contain links to back to item in question and notifications about comments can be replied to from within Slack. Learn more about Slack integration.
Notify a channel
You can also connect a board to a Slack channel to notify the channel when a card is created in that board or there is a new comment on a card in that board. You can configure this from the board’s settings page – learn more.
Email notifications
You can turn on instant email notification and choose which actions you liked to be notified of by going to Settings > Account > Notifications.
Email digests
We send a daily email summary of ‘unseen’ notifications from the previous day. By default, the email digest is sent on weekdays at 9am in the morning, but you can change the time or opt to turn off email digests completely from Settings > Account > Notifications. You can also use the checkboxes to choose what notification you would like to be included in your email digest.
The email will group notifications together based on the resource that that the notifications are about. For example if you have three notifications about the same card, they will be grouped together.
We only send one digest email per day. If you have already seen notifications in the Superthread inbox, then you will not receive an email digest.
