Notifications, email choices and the daily summary
In short
To see what needs you, select the bell at the top of any page. Notifications lists documents to review and tasks assigned to you, colleague mentions and plan usage alerts, private to you. Email preferences lets you choose which also reach you by email: critical alerts, colleague mentions and a daily summary each weekday. Your in-app notifications stay available whatever you choose.
Notifications are personal. Each member sees only their own, and marking one read doesn’t change it for anyone else.
What appears in Notifications?
- Assigned to you: documents to review and tasks routed to you, with why they reached you and their current status, such as Open task or Review recorded.
- Your mentions: internal notes where a colleague mentioned you. Choose Open note to read it in context.
- Plan usage alerts: when the workspace reaches 80% and 100% of an allowance, such as AI pages, for Owners and Admins.
Switch between Unread and All notifications at the top. Use Mark read or Mark unread to keep track. The number on the bell counts your unread mentions.
How do I choose which emails I get?
Open Notifications
Select the bell at the top of any page.
Open Email preferences
Choose Email preferences. The page shows the address emails go to.
Choose your emails
Tick the emails you want under Choose which emails you get, then choose Save preferences.
| Choice | What you get |
|---|---|
| Critical alerts | New critical tasks and documents to review routed to you, sent promptly, with related work grouped together. |
| Colleague mentions | A secure link when someone includes you in an internal note. The note itself stays in Vendarity. |
| Daily summary | Your open tasks, pending reviews and unread mentions, once each weekday from 9 am in the workspace timezone. |
Before you can turn emails on, verify your current email address and finish any required authenticator setup. If the page says notification email is not available for your workspace, you can still save your choices, and your in-app notifications keep working.
If an email to your address bounces or is reported as spam, delivery to it pauses, and the page says so.
How do I mention a colleague?
On a supplier’s Activity tab, choose Add internal note, write the note, tick colleagues under Mention colleagues and choose Save internal note. They see the note in Your mentions, and by email if they chose Colleague mentions. Only your workspace can see internal notes; suppliers never do.
Common questions
- Can my colleagues see my notifications?
- No. Notifications are private to each member, and marking one read affects only you.
- Do supplier contacts get these notifications?
- No. These are for your team. Suppliers get request emails and reminders, and the change requests and messages your team chooses to email them.
- Can I turn the emails off later?
- Yes. Untick them on Email preferences and save. Your in-app notifications stay available.
