Managing Notifications in Flow

Purpose: Control when and how you receive notifications about activity in Flow.

Two types of notifications:

A. Push notifications (when you are NOT in the app):

• Standard phone notification

• Shows who sent the message and the first line of the message

• Tap the notification → opens the chat directly

B. In-app notifications (when you ARE in the app):

• Small “bubble” that pops up at the top

• Example: “Dan just messaged you – do you want to go there?”

• Tap the bubble → jumps directly to the message

How to manage notification settings:

1. Tap the three dots in the top-right corner

2. Select “Settings”

3. Select “Notifications”

4. Choose your preferences:

   • Activity in all channels: Get notifications from all channels or only selected ones

   • When you are mentioned: Receive notification when someone tags you with @

   • When added to a channel: Notification when you are added as a member

   • Weekly email: Receive a weekly summary of activity in Flow

What triggers notifications:

• Someone sends you a direct message
