Notifications & Inbox Created on

Sayr’s inbox gives you a single place to see every notification that’s relevant to you, regardless of which organization the activity happened in. Notifications persist until you archive or delete them.
Accessing the Inbox
Section titled “Accessing the Inbox”Click the Inbox item in the left sidebar. The icon shows a badge with the number of unread notifications when you have new activity.
The inbox is cross-organization — if you are a member of multiple organizations, all notifications from all of them appear in the same view.
Notification Types
Section titled “Notification Types”You receive a notification whenever someone performs one of these actions on a task you are involved with:
| Type | When you receive it |
|---|---|
| Mention | Someone @-mentions you in a task comment |
| Comment | Someone posts a comment on a task you are assigned to |
| Assignee Added | You are assigned to a task |
| Assignee Removed | You are unassigned from a task |
| Status Change | The status of a task you are assigned to changes |
| Priority Change | The priority of a task you are assigned to changes |
Reading Notifications
Section titled “Reading Notifications”Click any notification to open the associated task in the detail panel on the right side of the inbox. The task opens in context — you can read comments, update the status, reply, and take action without leaving the inbox.
Unread vs. Read
Section titled “Unread vs. Read”Unread notifications appear with a highlighted background. Clicking a notification marks it as read. You can also manually manage read state:
- Mark as read — removes the unread highlight
- Mark as unread — re-highlights the notification so you can come back to it
To mark all notifications as read at once, click the Mark all as read button at the top of the inbox.
Archiving Notifications
Section titled “Archiving Notifications”Archive a notification to remove it from your main inbox view without permanently deleting it. Use archiving for notifications you’ve dealt with and want to clean up.
Right-click any notification (or use the context menu) to access Archive.
Deleting Notifications
Section titled “Deleting Notifications”To permanently remove a notification, right-click and select Delete. Deleted notifications cannot be recovered.
Real-Time Delivery
Section titled “Real-Time Delivery”Notifications arrive instantly via the SSE connection. You don’t need to refresh the page — new notifications appear in the inbox and the badge count updates automatically.
If the SSE connection is unavailable (e.g., due to a network interruption), notifications are delivered the next time you load the app.
- Unassign yourself from tasks you don’t need updates on to reduce notification volume
- Use Mark all as read before starting a focused work session to start with a clean inbox
- Archive processed notifications regularly to keep your inbox actionable
