The Update Feed

The Update Feed is where you will see all updates from boards you are a member of, even if you are not specifically mentioned in that update or assigned to each item. You can think of this as a news feed, where you can see everything your team has posted on those specific boards.

Receive notifications in Slack

Do you find yourself corresponding often with your teammates in Slack? Since you're checking Slack often, wouldn't it be great if you could check your important monday.com notifications there as well? You can set up an integration that shows your most relevant monday.com notifications right inside Slack!

Click on your Profile Picture
Click the Notifications tab
Click "Enable Slack notifications"

Note: Guests can not enable Slack notifications

Mobile notifications

The fourth place to receive notifications is via your mobile device throughout iOS and Android app. These notifications act similarly to other app notifications you'd receive on your device. Push notifications that you would receive on your mobile device would be synonymous with your bell notifications. You can learn more about our mobile devices here.

Mute board notifications

Sometimes we don't always want to be notified for actions in every board we are subscribed to. Well, we've made things a lot more convenient for you. Now, you have the option to mute notifications specific to boards. You can mute notifications from the board itself or right from within your bell notifications window!

Mute from the notification

Click the bell icon to open up your notifications window. From there, you can click the 3 dots to manage all notifications from the board that sent the notification. Keep reading this section to learn more about these settings.
