Inbox Overview

Your Inbox is where Joyous keeps you informed about everything happening across your work — status changes, new assignments, mentions, comments, and deadline reminders. It's a real-time notification center that helps you stay on top of what needs your attention without constantly checking every outcome and card.

What the Inbox does

The Inbox collects notifications from across your organization and presents them in a single, manageable feed. Each notification links back to the relevant outcome or work card, so you can jump to the context with one click.

Notification types

Joyous generates notifications for six types of events:

• Status changes — A card or outcome you're subscribed to changes status
• Assignments — You're assigned to a work card
• Mentions — Someone @mentions you in a comment or update
• Comments — New comments on entities you're subscribed to
• Deadline reminders — Upcoming deadlines for your assignments
• Updates — New status updates posted on outcomes you follow

Each type has a distinct icon and formatting in the inbox, making it easy to scan for what matters most.

Inbox layout

The Inbox uses a split-pane layout:

• Left panel — The notification list with previews, timestamps, and read/unread indicators
• Right panel — Full detail of the selected notification, including activity history and links to the relevant entity

Click any notification in the list to see its full detail on the right. Unread notifications are highlighted, and the first item auto-selects when you open the Inbox.
