In-App Notifications

Real-Time Delivery

Notifications appear instantly via server-sent events (SSE) — no polling or page refresh required. The notification bell in the UI shows your unread count, updated in real time.

Notification Panel

Click the notification bell to see your notification list:
  • Unread filter — Toggle to show only unread notifications
  • Mark as read — Click individual notifications to mark them read
  • Mark all read — Clear all unread notifications at once
  • Pagination — Scroll through older notifications

Email Notifications

When you’re offline, notifications are delivered via email so you don’t miss important updates. Email delivery is asynchronous and handled through Resend.

Managing Notifications

  • Your unread count is included in the /api/user/me response for instant display on load
  • Notifications are scoped to your user and the relevant project
  • Read status persists across sessions and devices
