Notifications When You're Assigned a Task

When someone adds you as the assignee on a task in any board, Omnifox lets you know right away — no need to check every board yourself.

Requirements

• Being a member of the workspace the board lives in.
• The "Task assigned" notification type must be on (it is by default).

How it works

1. Someone opens a task and adds you in the Person/assignee column.
2. You instantly get the "You've been assigned a task" notification in your bell.
3. The body includes the task and board names: "You were assigned the task 'Send proposal' on the 'Sales' board".
4. Clicking it opens that board.
5. The task automatically shows up in your My Tasks view.

If the person making the assignment adds themselves as assignee, they don't get notified — you're never notified about your own actions.

Example

John opens "Quote hosting" on the "Purchasing" board and adds you as assignee. Instantly your bell shows: "You've been assigned a task — You were assigned the task 'Quote hosting' on the 'Purchasing' board".

Settings

Under Settings > Notifications, find the "Task assigned" type to turn it off if you'd rather not get these alerts.

Tips

• Assigning several people at once notifies all of them (except whoever made the change).
• Intake forms can include an assignee field too — if a form submission assigns someone, it fires this same notification.

Troubleshooting

• I don't get notified when I assign myself: that's expected — only assignments made by someone else notify you.
• I'm not seeing the alert at all: check that "Task assigned" is enabled in your notification settings and that the workspace hasn't disabled this notification type overall.
