Why is my colleague not receiving a notification when tagged in the team chat?

Updated yesterday

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.
