# Everyone hears about it, nobody has to chase

Your team is told the moment a client signs, submits or replies, in the app and by email if they want it. Clients get a reminder before a task is due and keep getting one while it is overdue.

## Reminders on a schedule clients can count on

Turn on Due date reminders on a task and Upclient emails the clients assigned to it as the date approaches, then keeps reminding them while it is overdue.

- Sent at 9:00 AM in your workspace time zone
- Only while the task is Active or Incomplete, shown in the portal and has a due date
- Each email takes the client straight to the task

## Each person chooses what reaches them

Notifications cover the work that involves you: tasks assigned to you or waiting for your review, new messages and mentions, and changes to your team. Pick in-app, email or both for each category.

- The bell shows unread notifications and opens the task or conversation
- Emails go out right away, one per notification, with no digest
- Reset a category to its defaults at any time

## Clients get their own notifications

In the portal, clients have a bell and a Notifications page for their tasks and project messages, and the same notifications arrive by email with your logo and colour.

- Show only unread items, or archive the ones they no longer need
- Clicking a notification opens the related task or message
- Emails carry a small Powered by Upclient line at the bottom

## Works with workflows

Notifications cover the routine. Workflows add the ones that are specific to how you work, with Notify team member and Send email.

### A review left waiting

If client work has been in review for two days, the reviewer gets a nudge in the app.

## Questions

Will I get an email for everything?

Only for the categories you turn email on for. Tasks and Inbox start with email off. When email is on, each notification is sent right away as its own email; there is no digest.

When are client reminders sent?

At 9:00 AM in your workspace time zone: 7, 3 and 1 days before the due date, on the due date, then every 3 days while the task is overdue.

Can clients switch reminders off?

No. Reminders are set per task by your team, and clients cannot change their notification settings.

Do my settings apply to every workspace I am in?

No. Notification settings are per workspace, so set them up in each one.
