Staying up to date with the latest changes to your team's schedule is important no matter your role in Float. There are several notification options available to ensure that your team never misses a beat.

When a new notification is available, a dot appears next to the Notifications icon in the bottom left to let you know there is an update.

If you're not online at the time or don't click the icon, you will receive an email notification with all the latest changes after approximately 15 minutes.

Additionally, if you have the Float mobile app installed, you will receive a push notification to your device.

You can set the notification triggers by clicking Notifications and then "..." at the top of the menu.

A task assigned to you is created or updated.

A task on a project you own is created or updated.

Time off is created or updated by someone who is part of a project you own

You can manage your individual notification settings by clicking Personal > Notifications.

💡Here's a tip: After the first notification (sent after approximately 15 min if you are not logged into Float), subsequent emails are sent after 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8-hour intervals if you remain offline. The maximum number of notifications sent per day is 6.

The schedule email delivers a copy of your team's schedules directly to their inboxes and gives them a clear picture of what their work week looks like. Their individual tasks, time off, and project milestones are all included in the email. Project owners see their team's time off listed as well.

The schedule email is turned on by default and will be sent to anyone with an email in their profile, regardless of whether they have account access.

The Account Owner can manage these settings from the Notifications tab within the Team settings.

💡Here's a tip: Team members can unsubscribe from receiving their recurring schedule email from Personal > Notifications.

If the Account Owner sets the email reminder frequency to Never within the Team settings, team members will not be able to sign up to have their weekly schedule emailed.

You can type "@" followed by a person's name on any task, time off, or project note.

The person is notified via email, Slack, or mobile push, depending on their individual settings.

Using @mentions is a great way to grab a teammate's attention!
