When do I get notified about tasks?

You're notified when you're assigned a task, when one you own is approaching or past its due date, and when someone comments on a task you're involved in.

What triggers a notification

• Assignment — you're notified the moment a task is assigned to you.
• Due dates — reminders as a due date approaches, and a flag if a task becomes overdue.
• Comments — new comments on a task you're assigned to or following.

Managing task notifications

Open Settings → Notifications to control whether these arrive by push, email, or both. These preferences are shared with your general notification settings — see notification preferences for the full picture.

Tips

• Reassigning a task away from you stops future assignment-based notifications for it, but you may still get comment notifications if you keep participating.
• If task notifications feel noisy, check whether you're following tasks you no longer need to track and remove yourself where possible.
