The inbox collects notifications about events in Cube that concern you: a teammate mentions you in a comment, an alert fires, a new Cube version is released, and more. Each user has their own inbox. It is the same in every deployment of the account.

​

Opening the inbox

Click Inbox at the bottom of the sidebar. When you have unread notifications, its icon turns purple and a badge shows how many. The inbox has two panes. The left pane lists your notifications, newest first, under Today, Yesterday, or a date. Its header reads Inbox, followed by the number of unread notifications. When you have read everything, no number is shown. Click a notification to see it in full in the right pane. Until you select one, the pane shows No notification selected. Click Open to go to what the notification is about. New notifications appear as they arrive. You don’t need to reload the page.

​

Notification types

A scheduled task run notification has the task name in the title, for example Daily signups finished or Daily signups failed. For a finished run, it shows the start of the agent’s answer. If the answer has no text, for example when the run only built a chart, it shows how the run started and how long it took. For a failed run, it shows the error. For a run that a conditional task’s condition started, the title reads Daily signups: condition met, and it shows the change the check found instead of the answer. Only the creator’s notification shows the figures; everyone else’s says that the condition started to hold. Mentions and replies in comments, shared items, and access requests also arrive by email, unless you turn that off under Notifications on the Preferences page. The inbox does not send other notifications by email or Slack. Alerts and budgets send their own email, as set up on the alert or budget, and end-of-support notices come with their own email, as do dashboard review notifications. A scheduled task can also notify by email or Slack, as set up on the task. A report delivery can also notify its owner by email or Slack, and emails admins while the owner’s Google account can’t open the spreadsheet.

​

Read and unread

A new notification is unread. It has a purple dot and a bold title. When you select a notification, it becomes read. Opening the inbox does not mark anything read. To change the state of one notification without selecting it, open its ⋮ menu or right-click it, then choose Mark read or Mark unread. The ⋮ menu shows when you hover over a notification, and it is always visible on a touch screen. To mark all notifications read, open the ⋯ menu in the header and choose Mark all read.

​

Deleting notifications

To delete one notification, open its ⋮ menu or right-click it, then choose Delete. Cube deletes it immediately, without a confirmation. To delete many notifications at once, open the ⋯ menu in the header:

• Delete read notifications deletes every notification that you have read.
• Delete all notifications deletes every notification, read or unread.

Cube asks you to confirm both actions. You can’t undo a delete.
