The goal is to ensure that all notifications you receive are relevant to you. While you can shape which notifications you'd like to receive (and how you'd like to receive them) from outside of Nifty within the Notification Preferences page, let's look at the underlying trigger of notifications: subscription.

Being subscribed to a task means you'll receive notifications about it, such as when that task is overdue, sending a reminder, is completed, or has missed comments.

Certain actions automatically subscribe you to a task, specifically:

In these instances, you won't need to manually subscribe to a task to receive notifications about it.

Similarly, being unassigned to a task will unsubscribe you.

While subscriptions to tasks will be added automatically in the cases mentioned above, you can also manually subscribe or unsubscribe yourself or others to tasks to ensure relevant collaborators receive relevant updates.

You can do this a variety of ways.

Add yourself as a subscriber within a task or in the List View Subscribe column.

Holding shift + clicking an array of tasks will allow you to bulk subscribe or unsubscribe from List view.

You can create specific rules through which subscription occurs via Nifty's automation builder.
