Notion is set up to notify you whenever you're mentioned in a page or database, for reminders, and when updates/edits have been made to a page you care about.

• You'll receive push notifications on desktop and mobile if you have those apps installed.
• Email notifications are available as well, so you never miss a thing.

Below, we describe how notifications work, and how you can modify them.

How notifications work

Triggers

There are four ways notifications are triggered:

• Someone @-mentions you on a page or in a comment or discussion.
• You're added to a Person property in a database.
• You set a reminder for yourself to show up at a certain time.
• Someone makes changes/edits/revisions to a page you started or follow.
  • (Don't worry, you won't be actively alerted to these with push or badges, but you will receive an email aggregating edits if you haven't been signed into Notion).
  • You can always view all edits made on a page by clicking Updates at the top right.

Types & timing

There are several ways these notifications will reach you:

• You'll see a red badge with the number of notifications waiting for you next to All Updates at the top of your sidebar. Learn more about updates here →
• Desktop push notifications show up if you have the app installed and open.
• Mobile push notifications show up if you have the app installed and you haven't checked the notification within 5 minutes.
• Email notifications are sent if you don't have Notion open at the time of the notification, or if you have mobile notifications turned off and you haven't seen a notification within 5 minutes.
  • If you have Always send email notifications turned on, you'll receive an email for every notification, even if you're active on the app.
• Integrate with Slack to have notifications show up in the channel of your choice whenever changes are made to a certain page.
