Desktop Notifications​

Real-time In-App Notifications​

New notifications appear instantly in the Notification Center β€” no browser permission required.

CADENSA delivers real-time notifications via a persistent Socket.io connection. When a relevant event occurs (deadline approaching, budget warning, task assignment, etc.), the bell icon badge updates immediately and the notification appears at the top of the Notification Center panel.

How it works:

Bell icon shows unread count badge (updates in real time) Click bell to open the Notification Center panel Each notification links directly to the relevant task / project "Mark All Read" clears the badge with one click No browser permission prompt needed β€” works out of the box

Offline delivery: If you are not logged in when a notification is generated, unread notifications will be waiting in the Notification Center on your next login. A weekly email digest summarizes unread activity for users who have been offline.


Mobile Push Notifications​

iOS & Android App Notifications​

Enable on mobile:

  1. Install CADENSA app (iOS/Android)

Best Practices​

Do's​

  • Choose appropriate channels - Email for important, Slack for quick updates
  • Use quiet hours - Avoid notification fatigue
  • Enable critical alerts - Billing, security always on
  • Group notifications - Daily digest for non-urgent updates
  • Test notifications - Ensure they're working
  • Review periodically - Adjust as needs change
  • Use desktop/mobile wisely - Enable for time-sensitive only

Don'ts​

  • Don't enable everything - Notification overload reduces effectiveness
  • Don't ignore security alerts - Always keep enabled
  • Don't forget to configure - Default settings may be too noisy
  • Don't disable billing notifications - Important for account status
  • Don't use instant for all - Batching reduces interruptions
  • Don't forget mobile settings - Configure separately from web
