All notifications in Hive pop up in the bell in the upper right corner of the screen.
However, if you want to know what's going on in Hive outside the app, Hive can let you know.
Where can Hive send you notifications?
Desktop
Mobile
Email
What can you get notifications about?
Unread messages

@mentions
Proofing requests
Timesheet reminders
Upcoming deadlines
Resource assignments
Hive can also send you notifications when you are away from the app.
If you are logged in and haven't interacted with the app recently, your status will change and Hive will send you email and mobile notifications. That way you can be sure that you are updated on everything your team is doing.
If you don't want to receive notifications when you away from the app, you can change those settings.
When does my status change?
Your status will change from active to away after 10 minutes of inactivity. Your status will switch to offline when you've closed out of the app entirely.
How do I change my settings?
Click your profile picture in the upper right corner and select Notification settings. This opens the Notifications page in your personal Settings.
Audio settings
To add more urgency to meeting alerts, messages, action assignments, and @mentions, turn on audio notifications.
Notification volume: drag the slider (0–100%) to set how loud Hive's notification sounds play. It starts at 100%.
Each sound has its own checkbox and tone. Turn on Meeting banner alert, New group or direct message, Action assignment sound, or New mention notification, then pick a tone: Classic, Bright, Soft, or Meeting chime.
Click Preview to hear the tone at your current volume. Preview is available once that sound is turned on.
Default tones: Meeting chime for meeting alerts, Classic for messages, Soft for action assignments, and Bright for mentions.
Do you feel overwhelmed by multiple group chat notifications?
You can choose to be notified only about direct messages and messages where you are @mentioned. This helps you focus on your project work instead of scrolling through busy group chats.
On the Notifications page, go to the Messaging section. Under Notify me about..., select Direct messages and mentions. While this option is on, you will not get notifications, unread indicators, or new message indicators from your group chats. You will still get notifications for threads you've engaged with.
To get notified about every new message again, select All new messages.
Mute notifications from a project
On the Notifications page, go to Mute project notifications and select the projects. For those projects and all their sub-projects, Hive mutes most notifications. You still get notifications for @mentions and assignments, and approval request emails still arrive. A sub-project you add later under a muted project is muted too. A project stays muted while it or any project above it is selected. To get a sub-project's notifications again, remove every selected project above it from the list, and the sub-project itself if it is selected. This also unmutes the other sub-projects of those projects, unless they or a project above them is still selected. When Low notifications mode is on, the project list is replaced by the text "All projects are muted in low notifications mode."
Why can’t I change a notification setting?
Your workspace admin may lock notification choices through Enterprise Security. Locked choices are marked Managed by your workspace admin and cannot be changed in your personal settings. Ask a workspace admin if you need an adjustment.
Admins can also set defaults for new members without locking them. You can change unlocked choices. See workspace notification defaults and locks for admin setup instructions.
