Set global notification preferences

When you select an option that requires Inspire to perform a task, you 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. You can use the global notification settings to turn all notifications On or Off. If you turn them On, you can specify where all notifications are sent.

All new users added on or after March 6, 2024 have all notifications turned on by default.

Tips and tricks

  • If you leave notifications On, you can select where you want to receive them:
    • Email (to the address associated with your user account). To check the email address associated with your account, in the top right corner, select Account Settings.
    • Slack (if enabled by your user administrator)
    • In-app (in Inspire)
You can manage notifications at the global, module, and action level. If you set all three levels of notification preferences, Inspire uses the most granular setting instead of the global setting.

For example: if you set

  • Global
    • Notifications are On
    • Only In-app selected
  • Module
    • Components notifications are On
  • Action
    • Only Email selected (For Notify when a new branch is created)

When a new branch is created, you receive an Email notification only.

If you want your global notification settings to be used, do not set a preference at the action level. You can leave the module setting On to configure preferences for other module actions.

To set global notification preferences:

  1. In the top right corner of the Inspire menu bar, click the Settings option.
  2. In Notifications, do one of the following:

    Choose from:

    • On—allows Inspire to send you a notification for any of the module options that are selected (includes options selected for Components, Projects, Taxonomy.
    • Off —stops Inspire from sending you any notifications. This includes no notifications in the Inspire app, as well as Email and Slack.
  3. If you select On, you can select where you want to receive the notification.
    Although you can set this globally in the Notifications section, you can also set this preference at the feature level.
    • Email
    • Slack (If enabled by an administrator)
    • In-app
  4. Click Save.
    Results: Your user notification preferences are updated immediately after you click Save.
  5. Close the window.
