Managing notifications
Notifications in Homerun are designed to be customizable, letting users opt out of specific updates while retaining essential alerts, ensuring a personalized and clutter-free communication system.
Best practices
Regularly review your notification settings to ensure alignment with your communication preferences.
Remember that notification changes are user-specific and cannot be applied on behalf of others.
Enable necessary notifications to avoid missing important updates, such as email invitations.
When applicable, use alternative methods, such as enabling read receipts for uploaded files to ensure task follow-up without additional notifications.

Note: Changes that you make here will only apply to your personal account. Each user must adjust their own notification preferences—it's not possible to change notification settings on behalf of another user. If you are experiencing issues with receiving notifications, refer to the troubleshooting tips below. Additionally, if you wish to stop receiving specific notifications, you can adjust your preferences without impacting essential updates. Examples include opting out of project updates while retaining event notifications.
Alternative Notification Methods
If you encounter a scenario without direct notification settings, such as alerting an employee about uploaded files, you can use Homerun's read receipt feature.
Upload the file to the employee's profile.
Access the file options and enable the read receipt feature.
Choose the intended recipient(s). This ensures task-specific follow-ups without relying solely on standard notifications.
