Default notification settings

When you create or join a new Workspace, you'll receive default notifications. There are several notification settings that you can customize.

Watcher settings: Watchers of a task or subtask receive notifications. You choose whether or not to watch tasks that meet the following criteria:

• 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.
• In the Tasks section, there is an additional watcher setting. You can choose to be notified and watch all new tasks that are created. 
  

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, Doc and Chat views, Home, sharing, and Docs.

You can customize individual settings for email, mobile, web (in-app), and browser.

Settings with an asterisk can't be disabled.
