⭕ Notifications in Comms Hub
Keep you informed with all messages in Comms Hub.
👉 Here’s when you’ll receive desktop and mobile notifications by default:
Someone sends you a direct message (Chat)
Someone notifies a channel you’re in
Someone @ mention you
Someone replies to a thread you're following
You receive a message from Vinnybot
💬 When there is a new message in VinnyChat, you will see a numbered badge on your Comms Hub icon.
❓ How does Vincere count the number of new messages?
The numbered badge represents the number of conversations per user or per group and not the number of messages received in total.
For example, if you have 5 unread messages from the same teammate, Vincere will display number 1 on the Comms Hub icon.
⭕ Push notifications
You will receive push notifications when you’re on Vincere and have Comms Hub open.
📝 Note: The first time you receive a notification from Vincere, your browser will request your permission to enable the push notification > select Allow.
⭕ Sidebar notifications
When there’s unread activity in a chat (direct message) or a group, the conversation name will appear bold in your sidebar.
You’ll also see a numbered badge if someone mentions you.
❓ How to mute notifications from a group or a shout-out group?
From a group or a shout-out group, click on the ℹ️ icon on the right-hand corner to see the group details > toggle OFF Notifications to mute notifications from this group.
⭕ Email notifications
You will receive an email alert when someone @mention you in a conversation or give shout-outs to you. Click on Open in VinnyChat to open the conversation.
