Notification settings
Control which events trigger notifications and where they go.
📸 Screenshot needed:
settings__notifications.png, Notifications tab with a table of notification categories (execution failed, approval requested, member invited, mention, …) on the left and channel toggles (in-app / email / Slack / SMS) on the right.
Categories
| Category | When it fires |
|---|---|
| Execution failed | A workflow you own or watch fails |
| Execution completed | A workflow finishes (any status), usually off; very chatty |
| Approval requested | You're a named approver on a paused workflow |
| Approval timeout warning | An approval you owe a response on is approaching its timeout |
| Member invited | You're added to a workspace |
| Member removed | You're removed from a workspace |
| Workflow shared with me | Someone shares a workflow with you specifically |
| @mention | Someone @-mentions you in a workflow comment |
| Quota warning | A workspace approaches an API / token / storage cap (admins only) |
| Security alert | Unusual login, MFA change, credential rotated by someone else |
| Weekly digest | A summary email of last week's activity |
Channels
For each category, pick zero or more channels:
| Channel | Notes |
|---|---|
| In-app | The bell icon in the sidebar; instant |
| Sent to your account email | |
| Slack | DM via your linked Slack account; requires Slack credential |
| SMS | Only for critical categories on supported plans; requires a verified phone number |
| Webhook | POST to a URL you specify (advanced) |
Frequency
For each channel, choose:
| Frequency | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Immediately (default) | Sent as soon as the event happens |
| Batched (15 min) | Aggregated into a single message every 15 minutes |
| Daily digest | One summary email at 09:00 in your time zone |
| Off | No notifications for this category on this channel |
For Slack and email, immediate is fine for low-volume events (approvals). For high-volume events (every execution complete), batched or off is sensible.
Do not disturb
A schedule that suppresses notifications outside working hours.
- Window, e.g. 09:00–18:00 (weekdays only).
- Time zone, defaults to your account TZ.
- Override for critical, let
Security alertthrough even during DND.
Suppressed notifications are queued and delivered when DND ends.
Linked Slack identity
To receive Slack DMs:
- Notifications → Slack → Connect.
- Authorize Flero's Slack app in your workspace.
- The DM channel will be the bot you authorized; Flero remembers it.
To switch the channel from a bot DM to a specific Slack channel (e.g. #flero-alerts), use the channel picker in the same section.
Tips & gotchas
- Notifications are per-user, per-workspace. Joining a new workspace doesn't carry over your settings; configure each.
- Email digests can mask important failures. Keep
Execution failedandSecurity alerton Immediately, daily-digest a failure that took out production is sub-optimal. - Webhook channel is for advanced integration with your own tooling (e.g. PagerDuty). The payload format is documented in
/api-docs. - SMS deliverability varies by carrier and country. Email is more reliable for important alerts.
