The bell
The bell in the top bar shows a count when something's new. Click it for a quick preview of recent notifications — opening the list marks them read, and clicking any row jumps you straight to the source: the exact card, chat, or document it's about. For anything beyond a quick glance, click View all notifications at the bottom of the preview to open the full inbox.
What shows up
The inbox collects activity from across Omega, grouped into types you can filter by:
Discussion — @-mentions and replies in signal and document discussions.
Assigned — work assigned to you.
Signal runs — scans you kicked off, runs ready for review, and run failures.
Deliverables — reports and outputs that are ready.
Scheduled — your scheduled agents finishing (or failing).
Docs — Workbench activity on documents you're part of.
Working the inbox
The inbox reads like email, and triages like it too:
A pinned Needs attention band surfaces critical unread items — failures, warnings, and direct asks — so the important ones can't drown in the routine ones.
Use the folder rail on the left to filter by view (such as unread), by type, or by client.
Click a row to open its source; it's marked read on the way. Hover and click the check to mark it read without leaving the list.
Mark all read clears the decks when you're caught up.
Tip: The client filter is the fastest prep for an account check-in — one view of everything that happened on that client since you last looked.
Slack DM mirroring
Notifications are also mirrored to you as Slack direct messages from the workspace bot, so you don't need Omega open to know a report landed or a run failed. This is on by default.
To manage it, open the Workflow product and choose Notifications in the left rail's Settings group. There you can:
Toggle Slack DMs off (or back on) for yourself.
Fix which Slack account the DMs go to — it's normally detected from your work email, but if DMs are landing in the wrong place you can paste your Slack member ID to override it.
Send a test DM to confirm everything's wired up.
Note: Turning off Slack DMs never turns off the inbox — the in-app record is always complete, and Slack is just the mirror.
