ZoomSphere has a new practical solution for notifications, allowing you to choose whether you want to receive notifications from each app. 🔔
The Follow Button
There are probably apps you are not actively working with, and now you can limit the notifications from those apps and follow only the ones you need. That's why we are bringing a new Follow button you find in each of your apps! 🙂
And, of course, if you are mentioned or assigned to any post, you will still be notified regardless of the follow/unfollow. 💡
💡 By default, all users have all the apps unfollowed. 💡
Follow button OFF
It means that you will receive notifications only if you are mentioned in a comment or a card is assigned to you.
It also means that you will NOT receive a notification for cases like a comment without mentioning you.
You will not see a small red dot 🔴 on the list of workspaces or the tile of the given app in the workspace as an indication of new content. (You can think of it as being switched off because of the unfollow).
Follow button ON
If you follow an app, you will receive notifications even for comments without mentioning you specifically, as you are used to until now with all apps you have access to.
Also, the dot notification 🔴 indicating new content will appear on the app tile.
How to Follow an app:
Go to the apps you want to receive notifications for and click the Follow button at the top right corner.
