Change your notification preferences
When you select an option that requires Inspire to perform a task, you may get a notification about its progress. By default, Inspire is allowed to send you notifications in all three available places: Email, Slack, and in the Inspire app. However, not all options for all actions are selected to trigger a notification by default. You can use the Settings option to manage when you get a notification and where.
Before you publish content:
- Check publishing notifications for completed jobs.
- Check publishing notifications for queued jobs.
- Understand the new Global overdue notification setting.
Check publishing notifications for completed jobs
Notify when a publishing request has completed.
- By default, users are not notified when a publishing request has completed successfully.
- All new users added on or after March 6, 2024 have all notifications turned on by default.
- Follow the steps in Set notification preferences for publishing.
Check publishing notifications for queued jobs
Notify when a publishing request is queued.
This new option lets you decide if you want to be notified when A publishing request is queued. This is the first step in the publishing process. This notification tells you if the job has been accepted by the system and placed in a queue to be processed.
By default:
- Existing users don't have this new notification feature selected. This means that they are not notified in Inspire, email, or Slack if a job is queued when they send a component to be published.
There is a known issue with this new notification feature. Existing users can't publish until they select at least one option for the new Notify when a publishing request is queued notification:

the Settings option.
