Team Notifications: Keeping Your Team Informed
Configure which alerts, briefs, and reports are delivered to which team members — and how to avoid notification overload.
How Team Notifications Work#
On the Business plan, each team member has their own notification profile — controlling which alerts, Daily Briefs, and scheduled reports they receive. Notifications are delivered by email by default; the mobile app (iOS/Android) delivers push notifications for time-sensitive alerts like anomaly spikes or cash flow warnings.
Notification Types#
There are four types of notifications in AskBiz:
1. Daily Brief — AI-generated morning summary of your business (personalised per user based on their role)
2. Anomaly Alerts — triggered when a metric moves outside expected range
3. Intelligence Alerts — triggered by churn, supplier risk, or competitor signals
4. Scheduled Reports — weekly or monthly performance reports you configure
Each type can be enabled or disabled independently per team member.
Configuring Notifications for a Team Member#
Go to Settings → Team → [Member Name] → Notifications. You can:
- Toggle each notification type on or off
- Set the delivery channel (email only, push only, or both)
- Set quiet hours (e.g. no notifications before 7am or after 9pm)
- Choose which dashboards or metrics trigger alerts for this person
Changes take effect immediately.
Role-Based Notification Defaults#
When you invite a new team member and assign them a role, notification defaults are applied automatically:
- Admin — all notifications enabled
- Analyst — Daily Brief + scheduled reports (no anomaly alerts by default)
- Viewer — scheduled reports only
You can override these defaults at any time from the team member's notification settings.
Avoiding Notification Overload#
If your team is receiving too many alerts, the most effective adjustments are:
1. Raise anomaly alert thresholds — go to Intelligence → Alert Settings and increase the sensitivity from Moderate to Low
2. Bundle alerts into a digest — switch from real-time to daily digest delivery under notification settings
3. Limit who receives which alert type — only route cash flow alerts to the finance lead, not the whole team
4. Turn off duplicate channels — if someone checks the app, disable email delivery for the same alerts
