Notifications

Notifications

Notification settings in iTasks live in the user profile. Users can enable or disable delivery channels, set a personal timezone, choose a daily delivery time, and enable an early reminder before task deadlines.

1. Open Notification Settings

Open the profile from the avatar in the top bar. The Notifications block contains delivery-channel toggles and the Advanced settings button.

These settings are not tied to one workspace: they apply to the current user across all workspaces.

2. Telegram Notifications

Receive in Telegram controls bot messages in the user's personal Telegram chat. When it is off, the bot does not send that user notifications about tasks, comments, deadlines, or related work events.

This channel is used in Telegram Mini App and for users who have Telegram connected to their account.

3. Who Receives Task Notifications

• Task assignment goes to the new assignee when the task is not in backlog and the assignee is not the task author.
• Status changes go to task watchers, except the user who changed the status.
• Comments go to task watchers, except the comment author. If the comment was not written by the assignee, the assignee is notified too.
• Due dates and early reminders go only to the current assignee.

The task author is added as a watcher automatically, so the author receives status and comment notifications as a watcher unless they triggered the event themselves.

4. Push in Native Apps

The Android and iOS apps use the same profile. If iTasks is opened in the Android or iOS app, the Receive Push toggle appears in the notification block.

When Push is enabled, the app first shows an in-app explanation and then the system notification permission prompt. If system permission is not granted, Push remains disabled. If Push does not arrive after the channel is enabled, check the system notification permission for the app in Android or iOS.

Telegram Mini App does not show the Push toggle: delivery there goes through the Telegram bot.

5. Personal Timezone

The Advanced settings screen repeats personal timezone selection as the first block. This is intentional: notification time cannot be calculated reliably until the user has a personal timezone.

If timezone is not set, the settings below remain visible but disabled. Choose a timezone on the same screen: use the device timezone or search for an IANA timezone manually.

6. Notification Time

Notification time sets the hour when the user wants to receive daily date-based notifications. The default is 08:00 in the personal timezone, but the user can choose another time.

The event date does not change: a deadline reminder still belongs to the deadline day, and a recurring-task reminder still belongs to the recurring task's scheduled day. Only delivery time changes.

7. Early Deadline Reminder

In the Deadlines block, users can enable an additional early reminder 1, 2, or 3 days before the deadline. This option is off by default.

The early reminder does not cancel the main deadline-day reminder. The user receives a separate message such as "The task deadline is tomorrow" or "The task deadline is in 2 days".

8. What Happens After Settings Change

After saving notification time, timezone, or early-deadline settings, iTasks recalculates the user's future active notifications. Already sent notifications are left untouched, while future pending notifications are updated or canceled according to the new rules.

9. If Notifications Do Not Arrive

1. Check that the required channel is enabled: Telegram or Push.
2. For Push, check the system notification permission in Android or iOS.
3. Check the personal timezone if the issue is related to delivery time.
4. Make sure the task is not done and not in backlog: deadline reminders are not sent for those tasks.
