Notification Types
Kwilio Projects sends several types of notifications to keep you and your team informed:
| Type | Triggered by |
|---|---|
| Reminder | Task or project due date approaching |
| Alert | Overdue task or project |
| Assignment | A task has been assigned to you |
| Completion | A task was marked complete |
| Milestone | A project milestone reached |
| Update | Status change on a shared project |
| Escalation | A critical issue requires attention |
| Deadline | Deadline is imminent |
Notification Priority
Every notification has a priority level:
| Priority | Used for |
|---|---|
| Low | Informational updates, minor reminders |
| Medium | Standard due date reminders and updates |
| High | Approaching deadlines, overdue tasks |
| Urgent | Critical issues needing immediate action |
Viewing Notifications
Tap the bell icon in the toolbar to open the Notification Centre. Notifications are organised into three tabs:
- All — every notification
- Unread — notifications you haven’t seen yet (with badge count)
- Urgent — high and urgent priority only
Each notification shows its type, priority, related entity (project, task, client, or invoice), the suggested action, and when it’s due.
Acting on Notifications
From the notification detail you can:
- Mark as Read — clears the unread badge
- Snooze (1 hour) — hides the notification temporarily and surfaces it again later
- Dismiss — removes it from the list permanently
Notification Preferences
Go to Settings → Notification Preferences to control what you receive:
- Enable or disable specific notification types
- Set the minimum priority level for notifications (e.g. only Medium and above)
- Configure quiet hours so notifications are suppressed at certain times
Smart Notifications
Kwilio Projects analyses your data in the background to generate context-aware notifications. For example:
- Tasks approaching their due date with no status change
- Projects that haven’t been updated in a while
- Invoices that are past their due date
- Shared tasks that have just been assigned to you
Background analysis runs every 15 minutes on iOS. On macOS, analysis runs when the app is in the foreground or during periodic background refreshes.
Team Notifications
When a project is shared (see Team Collaboration):
- Task assignments trigger a notification for the assignee
- Task completions notify the project owner
- New comments notify all project participants
These are delivered as local notifications via the iOS/macOS notification system.
