Notification settings

Your notification settings let you decide, type by type, how Uku reaches you — and they include a temporary snooze, per-client muting, and one-click quick setups so you can tune everything at once.

• Every member manages their own notification settings. The Notifications section appears only on your own profile — you can’t change another member’s settings.
• Settings are personal and span all your companies: you have one notification profile, not one per company.
• Available on every plan (Team and Elite).

Your notification settings live inside your profile, not in Settings & Apps.

Path: Profile avatar → Notifications section
Also: Profile (sidebar) → Notifications section

1. Click your Profile avatar in the header, or Profile in the sidebar.
2. Scroll to the Notifications section. It loads your current settings automatically.

Notifications are grouped into collapsible sections — Tasks & Clients, Billing, Workforce, System, Onboarding, and Other. Click a group header to expand it; one group is open at a time. Each header shows a running count of how many of its types are sending Emails and how many show as Notifications (in-app), so you can see at a glance how noisy a group is.

Inside an expanded group, every notification type has two controls:

• Email — choose Off or Daily. With Daily selected, a timing dropdown appears: Send immediately, Send in the morning (09:00), Send in the afternoon (14:00), or Send in the evening (18:00). Batching to a fixed time of day keeps email out of your live workflow while still delivering everything once a day.
• Notification — the Show toggle controls whether the type appears in-app under the notifications bell icon in the header.

Scheduled summaries (your daily task list, weekly and monthly summaries, the timesheet-lock reminder, and the long-running-timer warning) send at a time Uku sets, so their email control is a simple Off / Send with no timing dropdown.

If tuning each row is more than you need, the Setup dropdown applies a whole preset at once. Picking one overwrites your current per-type choices.

• Everything — restores all defaults; every type fires on its default channels.
• Important only — only critical and important notifications. Quieter inbox; you still hear about payments and direct asks.
• Assigned to me — things about you specifically: tasks you own, your billing, your daily and weekly summaries.
• Mute all — everything off, except critical billing alerts, which stay on so you don’t miss a failed payment.

After you pick a preset, Uku shows a short note describing what it changed.

When you need quiet for a while, click Snooze and choose For 1 hour, For 4 hours, Until tomorrow 9 AM, or Until Monday 9 AM. A banner shows the active snooze; click Cancel snooze to end it early. Snooze pauses delivery temporarily without changing any of your per-type settings.

Muting a client stops notifications about that client’s tasks and activity — handy for clients you don’t actively work on.

1. In the Muted clients block, select one or more clients from the picker.
2. Click Save to apply, or Cancel to discard.

Every notification email includes a one-click unsubscribe link in its footer that turns off that email type for you — you don’t have to open Uku.

Open Profile → Notifications, expand the relevant group, and set the Email control to Off for the types you don’t want — or set them to Daily with a morning, afternoon, or evening send time so they arrive batched instead of one at a time. The in-app Show toggle is separate, so turning off email keeps the bell notification.

Notification settings save the moment you change them — there’s no Save button for the per-type controls (only Muted clients has explicit Save / Cancel). A short confirmation appears after each change. If a change didn’t stick, refresh the page and try again.

Applying a Setup preset (Everything, Important only, Assigned to me, Mute all) overwrites every per-type choice at once. If you’d tuned individual rows, re-apply your changes after the preset, or avoid presets once your setup is dialled in.

Muting a client only suppresses notifications about that client’s tasks and activity. Billing and account alerts — like a failed subscription payment — are never muted and always reach you.
