Set Status and Mute Notifications in ClickUp
In ClickUp, you can quickly set a personal status and mute notifications so your team knows your availability while you stay in control of alerts across devices.
This guide explains every way to change your status, turn on Do Not Disturb, and customize how ClickUp handles notification sounds and banners.
Understanding Personal Status in ClickUp
Your personal status in ClickUp tells teammates whether you are available, away, busy, or not to be disturbed. It appears in multiple places so others can easily see it while collaborating.
When you update your status, it is visible:
- Next to your avatar in the sidebar
- On your profile in comments and assigned tasks
- Across workspaces where your account is active
Status changes affect how people interpret your availability, but they do not block messages or notifications by themselves. For that, you can use Do Not Disturb and other notification controls.
Ways to Set Your ClickUp Status
You can change your status in several places inside ClickUp, so you do not have to leave your current view.
Set status from the ClickUp user menu
- In the lower-left corner, click your avatar to open the user menu.
- Under your name, select your current status.
- Choose one of the available options, such as Available, Away, or Do Not Disturb.
- If available, set a duration so the status automatically resets later.
This method works from almost any page and is one of the fastest ways to update how you appear in ClickUp.
Set status directly from your avatar in ClickUp
- Hover over your avatar in the sidebar.
- Click the status indicator dot or current status label.
- Pick the status that describes your availability.
- Optionally, choose an end time or duration.
Using the avatar shortcut keeps your flow uninterrupted when you are deep in your ClickUp tasks.
Set status from notifications in ClickUp
When you are reviewing your Inbox or notifications, you can also adjust status on the fly.
- Open the Notifications or Inbox area.
- Look for your avatar or status control in the top bar.
- Click it and choose a new status.
This is helpful if a stream of alerts reminds you to let others know you are busy or stepping away.
Using Do Not Disturb in ClickUp
Do Not Disturb (DND) in ClickUp mutes most notifications for a period of time, helping you focus on deep work or meetings without distractions.
Turn on Do Not Disturb from the ClickUp interface
- Click your avatar in the lower-left corner.
- Select your status to open the status menu.
- Choose Do Not Disturb.
- Set a duration, such as 30 minutes, 1 hour, or a custom period.
During Do Not Disturb, ClickUp will reduce or stop notification sounds and banners depending on your device preferences. You can still see new notifications when you open the app.
Change or end Do Not Disturb in ClickUp
- Click your avatar again.
- Select the active Do Not Disturb status.
- Either change the remaining duration or select Available to end it.
If you set a time limit, ClickUp will automatically switch you back to Available when the period expires.
Mute Notifications in ClickUp
Muting notifications lets you manage how and when you receive alerts from ClickUp without changing your visible status.
Mute all notifications temporarily in ClickUp
- Open your user menu by clicking your avatar.
- Locate notification or bell controls, depending on your interface version.
- Select an option to mute or pause notifications.
- Choose a time frame if offered.
Use this method when you need quiet time but do not necessarily want to show Do Not Disturb as your status in ClickUp.
Mute ClickUp notifications on desktop
Desktop notification behavior depends on your operating system settings as well as preferences inside ClickUp.
- Check your system's notification center or settings to allow alerts from the desktop app or browser.
- Within the app, verify which events trigger notifications, and then mute or adjust them as needed.
If you want to silence only sounds but keep banners, you can combine system-level sound settings with the options that ClickUp provides.
Mute ClickUp notifications on mobile
On mobile devices, you can mute alerts through both the ClickUp app and your device settings.
- In the mobile app, open settings and adjust which events send push notifications.
- On your phone, use the app notification controls to turn off sounds, badges, or banners.
This allows you to keep using ClickUp for quick checks while preventing interruptions when your device is in your pocket or bag.
Customize Notification Preferences in ClickUp
Instead of muting everything, you can fine-tune which activities generate alerts in ClickUp. This keeps important updates visible while minimizing noise.
Open notification settings in ClickUp
- Click your avatar in the lower-left corner.
- Select Settings or Notifications, depending on the layout.
- Open the area dedicated to notification preferences.
From here, you can usually control email, in-app, and push notifications, as well as choose which events matter most.
Common notification options in ClickUp
Typical configuration choices include:
- Mentions in comments or tasks
- New tasks assigned to you
- Status changes on tasks you follow
- Reminders or due date alerts
By adjusting these options, you can tune ClickUp so that only critical, actionable updates break through your focus time.
Best Practices for Status and Notifications in ClickUp
To get the most from status and muting tools, combine several features in a consistent way.
- Use Available and Away accurately: Let teammates know if you are online and active in ClickUp.
- Schedule Do Not Disturb during focus blocks: Plan deep work time with an automatic end so ClickUp restores alerts afterward.
- Customize notifications instead of turning everything off: Keep essential alerts while cutting clutter.
- Sync with calendar and meetings: Match your ClickUp status to your calendar so people understand when you are in calls or unavailable.
Clear communication using these tools reduces interruptions and confusion for your entire workspace.
