Manage workspace notification preferences

Once your workspace is connected to Slack, you can manage your team’s notification preferences. You can choose between the “General” or “Per project” notification style.

  • The “General” notification style will send notifications to the Slack channel you selected for all projects in your workspace.
  • The “Per project” notification style will send notifications to the Slack channel you selected for each project.

In both cases, you can choose the events that trigger notifications. For example, when there are updates to the test statuses, when new projects are created, when team members join, and more.
