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 collaborator field. These alerts are delivered through email, mobile push notifications, and the bell-shaped notification icon in the app.

Adjusting notification settings

To change your notification settings, click on the account icon in the top right corner to bring up the Account menu, then click on the Notification preferences option. 

This will allow you to switch mobile push notifications and email notifications on or off.

FAQs

Can I choose specific types of notifications to receive? 

At this time it isn't possible to only receive notifications for one particular event, like being mentioned in a record comment. 

Will I receive notifications when I @mention myself?

No notifications are sent when @mentioning yourself. However, it is possible to set up custom notifications as outlined in this article.

I'm not receiving notifications for a base. How do I switch them back on?

Notifications for a base can get switched off in a number of ways:

• Toggling them off via the in-base drop-down menu.
• Clicking 'Unsubscribe' from one of the notification emails.
  • Note: These unsubscribe links are unique to individual users. If you forward a notification email from your inbox to another person and they click the unsubscribe link, it will unsubscribe you from notifications.

In either case, you can toggle notifications back on by following the instructions in the Adjusting notification settings section above.
