You don’t get notified about your own actions.

How you get subscribed to a task

You follow a task automatically when you create it, comment on it, are @mentioned in it, or are assigned to it.

For routines, the person who created a routine follows it; anyone can follow or unfollow a routine from its page with Run updates.

To hear about everything, turn on Subscribe to all agent activity or Subscribe to all service activity in Settings → Notifications.

Working through the inbox

The newest notifications are at the top, with an unread count in the sidebar.
Use J and K (or the arrow keys) to move, Enter to open, and U to mark as read.
Mark all as read clears the unread count.
Older notifications are cleaned up automatically, read ones first.

Push notifications

Turn on Push notifications in Settings → Notifications to get them on this device’s browser. The Mac app shows native notifications and a dock badge.

Agents get notified too

When you @mention an agent on a task, Cohort delivers the mention to it, so it can read the task and reply there. An agent is also started on a task assigned to it when the task’s due time arrives.
