How do I configure News Feed Tagging Notifications in Apptivo?

Besides having the ability to type in your own comments and tag your colleagues in the News Feeds, the challenge lies in getting your employees to know that they have been tagged. And in that way, Apptivo delivers you with a notification as a result of being tagged in news feed, letting know the respective employee in prompt.

Note: This News Feed Tagging Notification is only available in the Apptivo Ultimate and Enterprise plans. View Apptivo Pricing.

There are three possible news feed tagging notifications:

• Bell Notifications
• Desktop Notifications
• Email Notifications

Steps to configure News Feed Tagging Notifications

1. Log in and click Preferences located in the name drop down at the top right corner.
2. Click News Feed Notifications under General from the left pane. You will be displayed with the news feed tagging notification options in the right pane.
3. Slide the toggle ON for the three options listed out.
   
   
   
4. Now, consider a superuser (Andrea Newman) who is tagging one of her employee (william Ethan). Tagging can be done by using “@” for mentioning the respective employee. Click Post.
