Notifications

Syno delivers notifications across three channels — in-app, email, and Slack. Toggle channels per notification type to tune the noise.

Notification Types

  • Mentions (@you)
  • Task assigned (you become an assignee)
  • Due soon (within 24 hours)
  • Status change (one of your tasks moves)
  • Reply to your comment
  • Announcements
