Notifications in Slack keep you informed of the work you care about, whether you’re at your desk or on the move. Use the steps below to customize your desktop, mobile, and email notifications. By default, only direct messages (DMs), mentions, and keywords will trigger notifications in Slack. You can change your preference to be notified about all new messages sent in conversations you're a part of, or nothing at all.

 Instructions

Adjust your notification triggers:

  1. From your desktop, click your profile picture in the top right.

  2. Select Preferences from the menu to open your notification preferences.

  3. Under Notify me about, choose your notification triggers.

  4. To use different triggers for your mobile notifications, check the box next to Use different settings for my mobile devices, then select your preference from the drop-down menu.

  5. To disable notifications for threads, uncheck the box next to Notify me about replies to threads I’m following.
