Cloud and self-hosted deployments

Fangout notifies you of new activity you’re directly involved in. How you’re notified depends on what Fangout client you’re using, the type of Fangout activity you’re being notified about, and how you prefer to be notified.

You’re in control

You are in control of how, when, and where you’re notified of activity that matters to you based on how you prefer to work and collaborate. To access notification preferences:

• In a web browser or the desktop app, select your profile picture in the upper right corner, select the Settings menu item to manage your notification preferences.

Default notifications

Fangout notifies you of new activity, including unread activity, direct and group messages, and @mentions, keywords you’re actively watching, thread replies, and unread activity in specific channels.

Email notifications

By default, Fangout notifications are sent to you via email for @mentions and direct messages when you are offline or away from Fangout for more than 5 minutes.

You can disable email notifications by going to Settings > Notifications > Email notifications and changing Immediately to Never.
