  • Tasks you create.

  • Subtasks created in tasks you're watching.

  • When you edit a task or subtask.
  • When you comment on a task or subtask.

• Smart notifications: You can delay notifications while you're using ClickUp for a custom period of time.

• The other settings are related to comments, tasks, start and due dates, ClickApps, integrations, List info, Chat views, inbox, sharing, and Docs.
