Managing Airtable notifications

Understanding Airtable notifications

When something important happens in Airtable, we let you know through notifications. The events that are currently able to trigger notifications include when someone shares a base with you, adds you to a workspace, @mentions you in a record, or assigns you to a record using a user field. These alerts are delivered through email, mobile push notifications, and the bell-shaped notification icon in the app.

Note

If you'd like notifications for other events not listed above, you may be able to create an automation to send your own custom notifications. You can learn more about creating custom notifications in this article.

1. You can open up your notifications by clicking on the bell icon in the upper right corner of the home screen, inside a base, or from an interface page. 

2. The notifications window allows you to select between Unread and Read notifications. 

3. You can mark all unread notifications as "read" by clicking the button above the unread notifications.

4. You can also mark an individual notification as "read" by clicking the circle next to that particular notification.

Here's an example of what a notification via email might look like:

Adjusting notification settings

Note

As mentioned in the product, you will always receive email notifications for invites and access requests. This includes invites to workspaces, bases, or interfaces as well as when you are added to a user group in Airtable.
