How to Manage Notification Settings in ClickUp

ClickUp gives you flexible notification settings so you can stay informed about important work without getting overwhelmed. This guide shows you how to customize alerts across web, mobile, and email, and how to use advanced options to control exactly when and where you are notified.

Accessing ClickUp notification settings

You can adjust all of your notification preferences from one place in your workspace profile.

1. Open the ClickUp web app.

2. Click your avatar in the lower-left corner.

3. Select Notifications or Settings depending on your layout.

4. Open the Notifications section to manage all alert types.

This area controls notifications for:

• In-app notifications inside ClickUp.

• Push notifications on the mobile app.

• Email notifications.

For full reference, you can compare these steps to the official documentation on ClickUp notification settings.

ClickUp in-app notification options

In-app notifications appear in the notifications tray inside ClickUp. You can fine-tune which events generate alerts.

Choose what ClickUp notifies you about

Typical in-app notification types include:

• Task creation and assignment.

• Comments, @mentions, and replies.

• Status changes and due date updates.

• Subtasks and checklist changes.

• Docs, Whiteboards, and other collaboration updates.

To customize them:

1. From the notification settings page, find the In-app or similar section.

2. Use toggles to turn specific event types on or off.

3. Save your changes if prompted.

This lets you see only actionable updates when you open ClickUp.

Manage ClickUp notification tray behavior

You can control how notifications behave inside the ClickUp notification tray.

• Mark notifications as read when you open them.

• Clear all read notifications to reduce clutter.

• Filter notifications by type or workspace.

These options help you quickly focus on the most important alerts.

ClickUp email notification settings

Email settings determine which changes in ClickUp trigger messages in your inbox.

Configure ClickUp email alerts

1. In the notification settings page, locate the Email section.

2. Review categories such as:

   • Assigned tasks and reminders.

   • Comments and @mentions.

   • Daily or digest-style summaries.

3. Use toggles or checkboxes to enable or disable each type.

If your inbox feels noisy, disable less important categories and keep only essential items, like direct mentions or assigned tasks.

Tips for reducing ClickUp email noise

• Turn off notifications for changes you regularly see while working in the app.

• Use digest or summary options if available, instead of instant notifications.

• Create email filters or labels in your email client dedicated to ClickUp updates.

ClickUp mobile push notifications

Mobile push notifications keep you informed when you are away from your desk.

Enable mobile notifications in ClickUp

1. Install the ClickUp mobile app from your device’s app store.

2. Sign in with the same account you use on web.

3. Allow notifications when your device prompts you.

4. In the app, go to Settings > Notifications to align mobile preferences with your web settings.

You may have separate toggles for mobile-specific options, such as push alerts for mentions or assigned tasks.

Control how ClickUp appears on your device

From your phone’s system settings, you can also manage how push notifications from ClickUp appear.

• Choose banner or alert style.

• Decide whether to show previews on the lock screen.

• Adjust sound and vibration settings.

Combining device controls with in-app options lets you control both frequency and visibility of notifications.

Advanced ClickUp notification controls

Beyond basic toggles, there are more advanced ways to fine-tune alerts in ClickUp.

Use ClickUp watchers and assignments

ClickUp typically notifies people who are directly involved in a task or item.

• Assignees receive notifications for key changes to their tasks.

• Watchers receive notifications even if they are not assigned, making it easy for stakeholders to stay informed.

To manage watchers:

1. Open a task in ClickUp.

2. Use the Watch or watcher icon to add or remove people.

3. Adjust per-task watchers when only some people need updates.

Customize ClickUp notifications by workspace

If you are part of multiple workspaces in ClickUp, you may be able to adjust notification behavior per workspace.

• Open the notification settings panel.

• Switch to the workspace you want to configure.

• Set different notification preferences for each workspace based on your role.

This separation prevents less critical workspaces from distracting you while still keeping primary projects visible.

Mute and snooze ClickUp notifications

Sometimes you need temporary focus time without completely turning off alerts.

Temporarily mute ClickUp alerts

Depending on your version, you may be able to mute notifications for a period of time.

1. Go to your avatar menu in ClickUp.

2. Look for options like Do Not Disturb or similar.

3. Choose a duration or schedule for quiet hours.

During this time, notifications are paused or minimized, but you can review them later in the notifications tray.

Unsubscribe from specific ClickUp items

If a single task or thread is noisy, adjust notifications at the item level.

1. Open the task or document.

2. Toggle off the watch option for yourself.

3. Confirm that you are no longer a watcher if prompted.

This lets you stop following conversations that are no longer relevant while keeping broader settings intact.

Best practices for ClickUp notification hygiene

A few simple habits can keep your workspace organized and your alerts meaningful.

• Review your ClickUp notification settings monthly or when your role changes.

• Use watchers instead of @mentioning large groups for every update.

• Encourage your team to configure their notification preferences to match how they work.

• Regularly clear or archive read notifications in the tray.

Troubleshooting ClickUp notification issues

If expected alerts are missing or delayed, work through these checks.

Verify ClickUp settings

• Confirm that the relevant notification type is enabled in your profile.

• Check whether you are listed as an assignee or watcher on the item.

• Make sure you are in the correct workspace in ClickUp.

Check email and device configuration

• Look in your spam or junk folder for ClickUp messages.

• Whitelist ClickUp’s email address in your email client.

• Confirm that push notifications are allowed for the app in your device settings.

After adjusting, trigger a small test change on a task to confirm that notifications arrive as expected.

Next steps

Configuring notification settings correctly in ClickUp ensures that you see the right updates at the right time. Use the central settings page, watchers, workspace-level controls, and mute options to build a notification system that supports your focus instead of interrupting it.
