Inbox ​

The Inbox is a space for tracking and managing updates to work items you're connected with. Whether you're assigned to a work item, its creator, mentioned in a discussion, or subscribed to its updates, you'll find everything here. It's where all your in-app notifications live.

The inbox has two tabs: All and Mentions. Each tracks its own unread count. The sidebar icon shows a red dot when either tab has unread notifications.

Inbox in full view: the All tab with 5 unread and Mentions with 2, seven notification cards with actor avatars and relative times, and Group notifications by project open on the right at its comments from Jonas Weber and Daniel Kim

Where to find Inbox ​

Click the Notifications icon in the top right of the screen to open the inbox. Clicking a notification opens the work item in a panel on the right — you stay in the inbox.

Use the All tab for everything except @-mentions — state changes, field updates, comments, assignments. Use the Mentions tab to see only notifications where someone @-tagged you.

Email notifications

All inbox notifications are also sent to your email by default. You can customize your email notification preferences in Profile Settings.

Manage notifications in your inbox ​

Hover over any notification card to reveal three action buttons:

  • Mark read / unread — toggles the unread indicator
  • Archive — removes it from your default view; you can still find archived notifications by turning on Show archived in the menu
  • Snooze — hides it until a time you choose

To clear everything at once, use Mark all as read in the inbox header.

Filter your notifications ​

Use the filter icon to narrow by type — you can combine multiple filters:

  • Assigned to me — notifications for work items where you're an assignee
  • Created by me — notifications for work items you created
  • Subscribed by me — notifications for items you're subscribed to but didn't create or get assigned to

Inbox Filters menu open under the filter icon with Connection, Notification from, Priority, State group, Assignee and Projects, and the Connection submenu showing Assigned to me, Created by me and Subscribed by me, none checked

Use the three-dot menu to toggle display options — only one can be active at a time:

  • Show unread — only unread notifications
  • Show archived — only archived notifications
  • Show snoozed — only snoozed notifications, including ones whose snooze time has already passed

Active filters appear as tags below the tab bar. Remove them individually or clear all at once.

Notification card content ​

Each notification card shows:

  • Who did it — the actor's avatar (or a bell icon for due date reminders)
  • What they did — a one-line summary, e.g. "Alice added assignee Bob" or "Carol set due date to Jan 15"
  • Which work item — the project identifier and sequence number, and the work item name
  • When — a relative timestamp, e.g. "3 hours ago"
  • Unread dot — a small coloured dot on the left edge when unread
  • Snoozed indicator — if snoozed, the timestamp is replaced with "Till {date}, {time}"

Snooze menu open on the Notification badge count out of sync card with 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and Custom, below the card's speech-bubble (mark as read), archive and clock (snooze) icons

Stacked notifications Pro ​

Notifications are grouped by work item. Instead of one card per event, you get one card per work item covering all the changes to it.

The stacked card shows:

  • The work item name and identifier
  • Avatars of everyone who made changes
  • An unread count badge for the group
  • The time of the most recent notification

Inbox list with the All and Mentions tabs and five stacked notification cards, each with the work item name and ID, the avatars of who made changes and the time of the latest one; four unread cards carry a count badge, and Notification badge count out of sync shows 3 with Daniel Kim's and Jonas Weber's avatars

Hovering over a stacked card opens a preview showing all the individual changes inside it — each one with the actor, what changed, and when.

Clicking a stacked card marks all grouped notifications as read and, in full-page view, opens the work item with the relevant activity items scrolled into view and highlighted. The highlight fades after 5 seconds.

Actions on a stacked card — read/unread, archive, snooze — apply to all notifications in the group at once.
