Notifications

Surfboard can alert you — in-app and by email — when boards and documents you care about are updated. Notifications are driven by subscriptions: you opt in per board, choose how sensitive you want the alerts to be, and Surfboard handles the rest.

Subscribing to a board

Click the bell icon on any board page. Choose a level:

• All updates — you're notified every time the board is updated, whether by a scheduled refresh, a manual "Update" click, or any agent edit.
• Notable updates only — you're notified only when Surfboard explicitly flags the update as significant (a major status change, a new risk, a meaningful shift in the data). Routine refreshes with no material change produce no notification at this level.

To unsubscribe, click the bell again and select None.

How you receive notifications

• In-app — A toast appears when a new notification arrives while Surfboard is open. The bell icon in the header shows a badge for unread items; click it for a grouped dropdown, or open the full Notifications page for longer history.
• Email — Notifications are sent to your account email. Email is on by default; turn it off in Settings → Notifications.

Subscribed section

Boards and documents you've subscribed to appear in the Subscribed section at the top of your workspace Projects tab — up to 5 rows by default, expandable to 15. This gives you one-click access to the boards you care about, separate from the full file browser.

Notification settings

Go to Settings → Notifications to turn email or in-app notifications on or off globally. Per-board subscription level is always controlled from the bell icon on the board page itself.
