2.8 Where do I see my notifications in the app?

How the notification bell in the sidebar works — the unread count, the All and Unread tabs, opening the page a notification is about, and archiving.

Written by Meesha Price

Linkby notifications now arrive in two places: your inbox, and the app itself. The bell in the sidebar collects everything that's happened on the account you're in, so you can pick it up the moment you log in rather than digging through email.

Finding it

The bell sits in the sidebar. The number on it is how many notifications you haven't read yet, and it gives a little shake when something new lands.

What's in the panel

Open the bell and you'll see your notifications grouped into Today, Yesterday and Earlier. The All tab shows everything; Unread narrows it to what you haven't got to yet.

Opening what a notification is about

Use the button underneath a notification to jump to the campaign, story or page it refers to. Clicking the notification itself marks it as read.

Keeping on top of it

Anything you want to come back to can be switched back to unread. When you're done, Archive read clears everything you've already read out of the panel — and if you clear something by mistake, there's an Undo for ten seconds.

One account at a time

The panel shows the account you're currently logged in to, so if you manage a few, switching account switches the list and the count with it. Switching market doesn't change anything — you'll see the same notifications whichever country you're in, and each one still takes you to the right market's page.

Don't want some of these?

Every notification has its own In-app switch, separate from its email one, so you can keep the emails and quieten the app or the other way round. See How do I choose which Linkby notifications I receive?
