Email Notifications

There are two types of email notifications: Immediate and Daily. Immediate notifications can be emailed to you 

By default, all users can adjust their email settings for tasks, deadlines, mailroom items, etc. These emails are sent to the user's email address and do not require additional setup to begin. You can also subscribe to the morning and evening emails sent daily.  

Text Notifications

The Immediate notifications tab can also be setup to include texts sent to your phone. This requires you to enter your cell phone number and a subsequent verification code sent to your phone. Once that's done, you'll be able to enable and configure text reminders sent to your phone.

Slack Notifications

Slack is a corporate communication platform offering direct messaging and group conversations organized by topic. Slack can be a great platform to receive immediate notifications. It requires additional setup by first providing your company's slack domain and then logging in with your Slack account. You will be sent a verification code to finalize the connection. You will then identify the channels where you want to receive notifications.
