Notifications
On this page
Notifications tell you something happened without making you go looking for it. They arrive in two places - the dashboard bell and your email - and dembrane is deliberately quiet: it batches email so a busy day doesn’t bury you in one-line alerts.
Everyone with an account can receive them. Some, like workspace-request alerts, are aimed at admins who can act on them. You manage what you receive in your account & security settings.
In-app vs email#
The dashboard bell is always immediate and shows everything in real time. Email is the gentler channel, where the batching below kicks in. If you want the full, immediate picture, check the bell.
Digest batching#
dembrane doesn’t email you every event the moment it happens:
- The first 5 notifications in a rolling 24-hour window are emailed individually - the ones you most likely want straight away.
- After that, the rest are rolled into a daily digest sent once a day at 09:00 UTC.
So a normal day sends a handful of timely emails; a very busy day sends those plus a single morning summary, instead of dozens of separate messages.
What you’ll be notified about#
Workspace requests. When someone asks to create a workspace or upgrade a tier, the admins who can approve it are notified, in-app and by email (within the batching rules). This is the free-tier upgrade flow; admins act on it in the dashboard, and staff see it under upgrade requests.
Tier expiry. If a workspace’s tier is set to expire - a time-limited trial, say - dembrane sends a prewarning three days before it lapses, so there’s time to renew or plan rather than discovering it after the fact.
Subscribing and unsubscribing#
- Preferences live in your account & security settings.
- Email notifications can be unsubscribed from - every email includes the means to opt out of that kind.
- Some notifications are also surfaced as portal subscription options for participant reports, configured separately in the portal editor.
Note
Unsubscribing from emails doesn't silence the bell - you'll still see notifications in the dashboard. The two channels are managed independently, so you can stay informed without a noisy inbox.
