Notifications

Vizzly’s inbox keeps you updated on build reviews, comment mentions, and replies. All notifications appear in-app only—no email delivery currently.

Notification Types

Comment Mentions

When someone @mentions you in a comment:

  • Appears instantly in your inbox
  • Shows comment preview (up to 200 characters)
  • Links directly to the build or screenshot
  • Works across all projects you have access to

You won’t get notified if you mention yourself.

Comment Replies

When someone replies to your comment:

  • Shows both the reply and thread context
  • Links to the conversation
  • Only triggers for direct replies to your comments

You won’t get notified if you reply to yourself.

Build Review Assignments

When you’re assigned to review a build:

  • Shows build name, branch, and commit
  • Includes project context
  • Links to the build that needs review
  • Shows who assigned you (if manually assigned)

Self-assignments won’t trigger notifications.

Build Review Completion

When someone reviews your build:

  • “Approved” if they approved
  • “Changes requested” if they requested changes
  • “Commented” if they just left feedback

You won’t get notified if you review your own build.

Build Review Reminders (System)

When your review is overdue:

  • Shows how many days past due
  • Automatically sent by the system
  • Includes original due date

Build Review Assignment Failures (System)

When auto-assignment fails (project owners only):

  • Explains why assignment failed
  • Flags builds needing manual assignment
  • Helps you catch and fix assignment issues

Using the Inbox

Filtering

Six tabs help you focus:

  • All - Everything except archived items
  • Unread - Unread notifications only
  • Mentions - @mentions directed at you
  • Replies - Replies to your comments
  • Assignments - All review-related notifications (assigned, completed, failed, reminders)
  • Done - Archived notifications

Managing Notifications

  1. Mark as Read - Click individual notifications or use “Mark all read” button
  2. Archive - Mark as done to move to the Done tab
  3. Restore - Undo done status to bring items back to your active inbox

Each notification shows:

  • Time ago (just now, 5m ago, 3d ago, etc.)
  • Project context
  • Comment preview (if applicable)
  • Direct link to the relevant build or screenshot

Bulk Actions

  • Mark All Read - Clears unread status for all active notifications
  • Filter Then Archive - Use tabs to focus on specific types, then archive individually

How Notifications Work

All notifications:

  • Appear instantly in-app
  • Work across all projects you have access to
  • Auto-delete after 90 days
  • Can be manually deleted anytime

System notifications (reminders, assignment failures) show no triggering user since they’re automated.
