Notifications

In-app and email when a task finishes, fails, or needs you.

When a queued task, a project goal, or a Night owl job finishes, fails, needs you, or is paused, Hawkeye can add a row to the in-app inbox and send an email.

The switch

Nothing is stored or sent unless the runtime setting notifications_enabled is true. The default is off.

That setting is off for this process, so task mail and inbox rows are not sent.

Once the feature is on, email and in-app are both on for an account until you change them. The preferences live under Settings, then notifications.

What is sent

• Events: done, failed, needs_input, paused, follow_up.
• Sources: queue, project, nightowl.
• After 3 emails inside 10 minutes, further mail for that person is held and sent as one digest.
• Each email has an unsubscribe link. Opening it turns email off for that account. It does not turn off the in-app inbox.

This notification module does not send WhatsApp. WhatsApp is a separate connection for chat, and it is not part of the task inbox described here.
