Why is My Colleague Not Receiving a Notification When Tagged in the Team Chat?

This help article explains why team chat mentions may not trigger notifications in softgarden and which role permissions, visibility rights, and personal notification settings are required.

Even if a user is tagged in the team chat, notifications may not occur. This is directly related to role settings and visibility rights in the system.


Note on Notification Logic

  • Notifications are only sent if the relevant person has access rights to the affected area.

  • Without visibility of the team chat within the role, no notification occurs—even with a direct mention.

  • Background: The system generally only sends notifications about content that is visible to the respective role. This ensures data-protected and structured communication.

What Does this Mean Specifically?

  • As an administrator, check your colleague's role configuration if they should receive team chat notifications.

  • A prerequisite for email notification, in addition to the corresponding role authorization, is that the colleague has activated the notification type "New comments on an application" in their personal settings.

    Path: Your Account → Notifications → Content of Emails

  • Additionally, they should not have deactivated email notifications in general (by selecting "No, I do not want to receive the newsletter at the moment").

    Path: Your Account → Notifications → Email Settings

    Only when the appropriate visibility in the system is given will a notification be triggered upon mentions.
