View this presentation to learn about and the different types of Notifications that Contriber offers its users.

2. There are three different types of notifications in Contriber. You can
use all of them at once OR none of them at all.
Workspace Notifications ...starts at slide 3
These types of notifications appear on your workspace and indicate how many messages
have been left in various flows.
Desktop Notifications ...starts at slide 14
These types of notifications display on your desktop. These are helpful in situations when
you are not currently viewing your workspace, but want to know immediately when new
activity takes place.
Email Notifications ...starts at slide 21
These types of notifications are sent to your email. You have the option of receiving email
notifications instantly or daily.

13. Detailed look at Workspace notifications
If a user leaves a message in a flow, all persons using that flow will receive a notification. It will either be Blue, Red, or @Red
Blue If a message is left in a flow, all persons using that flow will receive a blue notification.
Red If you type a person(s) name in the message, those person(s) will receive a red notification and everyone else using the flow will
receive a blue notification.
For example: We’re meeting with Mike and Lisa tomorrow at 9am.
In this example, Mike and Lisa will receive red notifications and everyone else using the flow will receive blue notifications. This type of
tagging can be used to indicate that a message is important, but not mission critical.
@Red If you type the @ symbol before a person(s) name in a message, those person(s) will receive an @Red notification and everyone
else using the flow will receive a blue notification.
For example: @Mike and @Lisa, please meet with us tomorrow at 9am.
In this example, Mike and Lisa will receive @red notifications and everyone else using the flow will receive blue notifications. This type of
tagging is useful when the message is very urgent for a particular person(s) to read.

14. Desktop Notifications

15. We use our computers for more than just Contriber :)
Often times we have many browser tabs open.
Or, we may be busy using other applications.

16. If you have opened Contriber, but are not
currently viewing your workspace (perhaps
you are watching a YouTube video), you can
choose to be notified immediately when
new activity occurs on your workspace(s)
using ‘desktop notifications’.

17. desktop notifications will appear at the bottom-right of
your screen for a few seconds and then disappear.

desktop notifications.

from step 4 so that the checkmark is removed.

notifications in your personal email inbox when activity takes place
