Notification types
Issue-change notifications can go to the person making the change and to the current assignee. Orbit does not notify you twice when those are the same person. Assignment changes use the dedicated assigned or unassigned notification instead.
Channels
Each notification type has its own in-app and email toggle. For example, you can receive assignments by email while keeping comment updates in-app only. Orbit checks both channel choices independently before delivering an alert.
An invitation sent to an email address that does not have an Orbit account is different: Orbit sends the dedicated invitation email so the recipient can register and accept it. If the address already belongs to an Orbit user, the normal Project invitations channel preferences apply.
Managing notification preferences
From Settings → Account → Notifications, every notification type is listed with an in-app and email toggle. Changes save immediately and are recorded in the activity log. See Settings for how to get there.The in-app notification list
Every notification has a type (success, info, warning, or error), a title, a message, and optionally a link to the page it relates to. From the notification list you can:- Show only unread notifications
- Filter by All, Success, Info, Warning, or Error
- Mark one unread notification as read
- Mark all notifications as read at once
- Open View details when the notification links to an issue, invitation, or settings page
- Delete a notification you no longer need
Notifications are loaded automatically and kept available across the app, so the notification bell reflects unread notifications without a manual refresh.
