Notifications
Read assignment alerts, open the related issue, and choose your delivery channels.
Use Notifications to follow issue assignments and messages sent by rules. Open the bell in the right sidebar to read your feed, or go to Settings → Notifications to choose how you receive updates.
Read and act on a notification
- Open the bell. Notifications appear newest first, grouped by date. An unread dot marks items you have not opened.
- Select a notification to mark it as read. River opens the related view when a destination exists. An issue assignment opens its issue.
- Select Mark all as read to clear all unread states. To remove one notification, hover its row. Select the dismiss button.
Follow up in Issues
Reading or dismissing an alert does not resolve the issue. Update its status in Issues after completing the work.
If the feed shows Failed to load notifications, select Retry. An empty feed displays You're all caught up!
Choose delivery channels
Open Settings → Notifications, or select the gear in the notification feed.
| Control | What to choose |
|---|---|
| In-app | Show notifications in the bell menu. |
| Receive individual event emails. | |
| Digest | Enable a periodic summary email, then set the digest frequency to Daily or Weekly. |
- Select the channels you want. You can enable more than one.
- If you enable Digest, choose its frequency.
- Select Save Changes in the bottom save bar. Select Discard to return to your saved settings.
For example, enable In-app and Digest. Set the digest frequency to Daily. Clear Email to stop individual event emails. Enabling Digest does not clear Email automatically.
Understand which alerts to expect
Issue assignments and a rule's Send notification action generate event notifications. Rule notifications depend on the rule's configured recipients; enabling a delivery channel does not subscribe you to every rule.
For follow-up work, see Issues. To configure a rule that sends a message, see Rules.
