You’re notified in a web browser, and the desktop app, when you’re @mentioned by your username or first name, @mentioned as part of a user group, and for matches to keywords you’re following.

You’re also notified when someone uses channel-wide @mentions including @channel and @all, as well as @here.

For all other messages, channels appear bolded to indicate unread activity.

Customize notification keywords#

Using a web browser or the desktop app, you can customize keywords to trigger notifications. Keywords aren’t case-sensitive.

For example, you can receive notifications for all messages and threads related to a specific topic, project name, or customer.

Tip

Separate multiple keywords using commas or by pressing Tab, and use Backspace to manage keywords.
