Client Notifications
Multivista customers currently receive notifications when new photos are uploaded to a project or when Task List items are interacted with. Notifications are conveyed, according to user preference, via the following channels:
- Email notifications
- Alerts in the Notifications area within the desktop and mobile app
- Mobile push notifications
New events that will also trigger notifications now include:
User Tagging
- Users can tag or mention other Multivista project users within a Comment thread using the familiar ‘@user’ tagging convention. Upon being tagged, a Notification is sent to that user via standard (above mentioned) notification channels
- Tagging a user in a comment thread ties the user to the thread such that they will receive notification of any future comments on the given photo. This is referred to as ‘Following’ a photo or thread.
- User tagging is currently supported in desktop environments only
Following
Various objects that a user interacts with can be ‘followed’. By following, the user ensures that that they will be notified of any subsequent activity involving the given item. The following objects can be followed:
- Photos – by commenting on any project photo, the user is automatically following the given comment thread. They will be notified of subsequent comments on the photo.
- Pushpins – A ‘Followers’ tab (desktop only) on Pushpins allows users to follow any given pushpin, or alternatively initiate other project users to follow the Pushpin. Photos or files subsequently added to the pushpin will trigger notifications to users following the pushpin
- Albums – A ‘Followers’ dialogue (desktop only) on albums allows users to cause other project users to follow the Album. Any subsequent photos added to the album will trigger notifications to users following the Album
