Overview of Notifications in Atarim
Atarim’s notification system ensures that no important update goes unnoticed, helping your team and clients stay informed in real-time. Notifications can be triggered by various events, including task status changes, user assignments, and more. By automating this process, teams can focus on their work without the need for constant check-ins.
1. Understanding Notification Triggers
Notifications in Atarim are triggered by key actions within the platform. Here are some common triggers:
- Task Status Changes: When a task moves from “Open” to “In Progress” or “Completed.”
- Task Priority Updates: When a task’s urgency is increased or decreased.
- New Task Creation: Notifying the relevant team members when a new task is created.
- New Comment Creation: Notifying the relevant team members when a new comment is added in the task.
Tip: Use automated notifications to keep everyone aligned on project progress without overwhelming them with unnecessary updates.
2. Setting Up Team Notifications
Instructions:
- Navigate to the People page from your Atarim dashboard.
- For each user, you can set preferences for which notifications they will receive. You can choose whether to enable notifications for the following events:
- New Task: Notifies users when a new task is created.
- New Comment: Alerts users when a new comment is added to a task.
- Status Change: Notifies users when a task’s status changes (e.g., from “Open” to “In Progress”).
- Priority Change: Informs users when the urgency or priority of a task changes.
- The admin can enable or disable notifications for all team members, ensuring that each member only receives relevant updates based on their preferences.

Tip: Only assign notifications to relevant team members to avoid overwhelming your team with unnecessary updates.
3. Configuring Client Notifications
Instructions:
- Navigate to the Settings tab in the Atarim dashboard, then select Emails & Notifications.
- In the Email Notifications section, enable notifications for clients to ensure they receive updates based on key project milestones, task completions, or other important changes.
- Customize the notifications by selecting which events will trigger emails to clients, such as:
- New Task Creation: Notifies clients when a new task is created in the project.
- Task Completion: Sends an email when a task is marked as completed.
- Status Change: Notifies clients when a task’s status is updated (e.g., from “In Progress” to “Completed”).
- Priority Change: Sends notifications when the priority or urgency of a task is changed.
- Daily or Weekly Updates: You can also set up automated summary notifications to keep clients informed of progress over the past day or week.

Note: Client notifications help keep stakeholders informed about project progress automatically, reducing the need for manual updates and improving transparency.
