Notifications are triggered when something relevant happens in your account, e.g. when a new task has been assigned to you or someone left a comment in one of your tasks. We’ll also notify you when estimated times are exceeded, so that you can immediately take action.

How to set up your TrackingTime notifications:

  1. From the main menu, go to Manage.

  2. Scroll to the User settings section.

  3. Click on Notifications.

Desktop Notifications 

Desktop notifications are available as in-app notifications, browser notifications or native desktop notifications, depending on which of the TrackingTime apps you're using.

  • Notify me when I’m not tracking: A desktop / browser notification will appear every 30 minutes to remind you that you’re currently not tracking any tasks.

  • Notify me about what I’m tracking: A desktop / browser notification will appear every 30 minutes while you’re actively tracking a task to make sure you’re tracking the correct task.

  • Notify me with updates about projects, tasks and comments: Get notified every time one of your projects or tasks gets updated.

  • A task time is exceeded: if the estimated time set for the task is exceeded.

  • A project time is exceeded: if the estimated time set for the project is exceeded.

  • Disable all in-app notifications: Use this setting to turn all in-app and desktop / browser notifications on and off.

Email Notifications

Email notifications are sent to the email account you used to signup for your TrackingTime account. 

  • Email me on project updates: Get notified via email when someone edits one of the projects you currently belong to.

  • Email me on task updates: Get notified via email when someone edits one of the tasks that you have created or that has been assigned to you.

  • Email me on subtasks updates: Get notified via email when someone edits a subtask associated to one of the tasks that you have created or that has been assigned to you.

  • Email me on comment updates: Get notified via email when someone adds a new comment to a task that you have created or been assigned to.

  • Email me if I forgot a running timer: if a timer is left turned on, after the user's clock out time, you'll be notified.

  • Send me a weekly email report: The weekly reports contain an overview of all your last week’s activities and are automatically sent every Monday to account administrators, project managers and owners who opt-in.

  • Disable all email notifications: Use this setting to turn all email notifications on and off.

📝 Notifications is a user account level setting, which means, that every user can enable/disable them on Settings, and it will only affect their individual account, not the entire workspace.
