User Field Notifications

What Are User Field Notifications?

User Field Notifications in Buildaible keep users informed about updates by notifying them when they are assigned to specific tasks, records, or fields. These notifications are delivered within the app to ensure users stay up-to-date without needing external email alerts.

How to Enable User Notifications

User Field Notifications are tied to User Fields within your application. To activate notifications:

  1. Navigate to the settings for the User Field where you want notifications enabled.

  2. Toggle the Allow In-App Notifications option

Once enabled, any user assigned to this field will receive notifications whenever:

  • A new record is created.

  • An existing record is updated.

Where Notifications Appear

User Field Notifications are visible in two locations:

  1. App-Specific Notifications

    1. Notifications related to a specific app are displayed within the app itself.

    2. Users will see these notifications in the app’s notification area, indicated by a blue dot on the bell icon in the top-right corner next to their profile. Clicking the bell will open a dropdown displaying their notifications for that specific app.

  2. Main Dashboard Notifications

    1. For users with access to multiple apps, all notifications are consolidated on the Main Account Dashboard.

    2. These notifications are listed in the Notifications Panel on the left-hand side and include updates across all apps the user has access to (see Screenshot 3).

What’s Next for Notifications?

We’re constantly improving Buildaible’s notification system. In the future, we’ll introduce email notifications that can be triggered by specific changes to fields or records. This will provide users with even more flexibility and ensure they never miss important updates.

Tips for Managing Notifications

  • Use notifications strategically by enabling them only on User Fields that require updates or alerts.

  • Keep your notifications organized by regularly reviewing them in your dashboard and marking them as read.
