- An active WRKZY workspace membership
- Access to the source records relevant to your role
- Browser permission if desktop alerts are desired
What notifications represent
The notification center can contain high-signal CRM events, shared-inbox activity, personal-email alerts, assignments, operational events, and governance events enabled for your account. A notification is personal attention history. It is separate from conversation unread state and does not replace the source record's owner, status, SLA, or next action.
Process the feed
- Open the bell in the header or go to Notifications.
- Use Unread when starting an attention pass; use All to reconstruct recent context.
- Open a notification through its linked title or action.
- Verify the workspace, customer or record, and current state. Another teammate or automation may have changed it since the notification was created.
- Complete, reassign, or schedule the underlying work.
- Return to Notifications and choose Mark as read when you have reviewed it.
- Choose Clear only when it no longer belongs in the active feed. Cleared notifications remain recoverable in Cleared.
The center refreshes as relevant activity changes and includes a Load more control for older pages.
A notification is a pointer, not the work itself
- 01EventSource event
A message, assignment, due action, customer change, or governance event occurs.
- 02GateEligibility and preferences
Role access, inbox source, and personal notification settings decide whether it becomes a signal.
- 03SignalPersonal attention feed
Unread, read, and cleared describe the Member's notification history—not the work state.
- 04DecideOpen the source record
Confirm current owner, status, priority, evidence, and next action where the work actually lives.
- 05OutcomeAct, then acknowledge
Complete, reassign, or schedule the work before marking or clearing the notification.
Understand feed actions
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unread | The notification has not been acknowledged; this says nothing about the source record's completion |
| Read | The user reviewed the notification or marked it read; the underlying work may still be open |
| Cleared | Removed from the active feed but retained in Cleared history |
| Restored | Returned from Cleared with its previous read state |
| Mark all read | Acknowledges all current unread notifications; it does not update conversations, deals, or other records |
| Clear read | Moves read notifications to Cleared; use after ensuring no source action is being hidden |
Configure high-signal preferences
Open Settings → Notifications. Preferences include:
- persisted in-app feed and categories for assignments, work, customer, operations, and governance;
- shared-inbox alerts;
- personal-email alerts;
- desktop alerts, subject to browser permission; and
- notification sound and volume.
Turning the feed off does not clear existing history. Inbox unread state remains in each inbox even when a notification category is disabled.
Choose alerts by required response, not by curiosity. An operator may prioritize assignment and shared-inbox alerts; an administrator may add operations and governance. Too many enabled categories can bury the one signal that requires action.
Configure desktop alerts
- Enable the relevant feed and category first.
- Turn on desktop alerts in WRKZY.
- Allow notification permission in the browser prompt.
- Trigger a safe test event and verify the alert opens the intended workspace record.
- If the setting says the browser blocked alerts, change the site's permission in browser settings, then test again.
Sound is optional. Set it to a level suitable for the operator's environment; never depend on sound as the only escalation path.
Triage examples
- Conversation assigned to you: open the conversation, verify identity and urgency, then accept or reassign ownership.
- Customer activity: open the linked customer or work record and decide whether it changes the next action.
- Personal email alert: review it in Private Mail; share only necessary context if the team must act.
- Operational warning: inspect the channel, delivery, import, campaign, or automation evidence before retrying.
- Governance event: an Owner/Admin should verify the actor and expected change in the relevant access or audit view.
When notifications look wrong
- Missing alert: check category, shared/personal inbox preference, and browser permission; then verify the source event actually occurred.
- Repeated alert: open the record and determine whether it reflects repeated source events before clearing.
- Link opens unavailable content: confirm workspace access and whether the record was archived or your role changed.
- Count differs from the feed: refresh and review All, Unread, and Cleared; updates may have occurred in another tab.
- Clear or read update fails: retry once after refresh. The source work is unaffected, so continue there and preserve the error if it persists.
Measurable notification health
Useful notifications reduce assignment-to-action time and missed high-signal events. Measure response to actionable alerts and the age of unread items, not the total number generated or cleared.
- Source record opened
- Current state verified
- Owner and next action recorded
- Read used for acknowledgement
- Clear used only after attention is complete
- Categories match role
- Desktop permission tested when enabled
