How do Email Notifications work in Tasks & Events?

Tasks and Events notifications are important to keep up with task assignments, schedules and important meetings within a Group. To ensure you are receiving these notifications, we'd like to review how to set up both in this article. 

Events and Tasks notification differ slightly. Use the links below to quickly navigate to your preferred area to explore: 

Notifications in Events

Event notifications on Clinked are designed to be sent when a group member is invited to a calendar event. If not invited, the event will be visible for all group members in the Events section in a group (unless different permissions are set).

However, if a group administrator would like to send notifications to all group members for events  (along with other content) created in the group, they can alter the group notification settings in a way to achieve this goal. To do this, please follow the steps below.

  1. Navigate to group settings by clicking the cog icon on the right side of the group tool bar
  2. Select the "Notifications" tab from the left 
  3. Locate the "Notifications on new or updated content" section and configure the options

When this notification setting is enabled, all group members will receive an email notification for the created event similar to the example below.

Notifications in Tasks

Once the setting above is enabled, all group members will be notified when a task is created. But task notifications on Clinked are designed to be sent to the group member who is assigned to an individual task. That means in order to make sure that a member is notified each time a task is updated, they need to be assigned to that task.

To assign a task to a member;

  1. Create a task
  2. Fill in the task details
  3. Scroll down to locate "Assignees" section
  4. Click "Assign new group members" button 
  5. Select the members you want to assign
  6. Click "Save" button to finish

Alternatively, you can assign an existing task to a member from the task list. To do this, click the plus icon next to the task and select the members you want to assign.

 

A member who was assigned to a task, would receive the email notification as the similar example below.
