Notifications

TekToro keeps you informed about important events through a combination of real-time in-app notifications and email alerts.

Notification Center

Access the notification center by clicking the bell icon in the platform header. A red badge shows your unread notification count.

The notification popover displays up to ten of your most recent notifications. Each notification shows:

• Icon — color-coded by type: blue for informational, yellow for warnings, red for errors
• Message — a description of what happened
• Time — how long ago the event occurred (e.g., "5 minutes ago", "2 hours ago")
• Link — click the notification to navigate directly to the related item

To dismiss a notification, click the X button on it. When you have no notifications, the center shows a "No notifications" message.

Real-Time Alerts

Notifications are delivered in real time using live database subscriptions. When an event occurs — such as an invoice being approved or a task being assigned to you — the notification appears instantly in the bell icon without requiring a page refresh. A toast alert briefly appears to draw your attention to the new notification.

Events That Trigger Notifications

TekToro generates notifications for events across the platform:

Invoicing

• Contractor master invoice approved
• Contractor master invoice rejected
• Contractor master invoice marked as paid
• Contractor master invoice submitted for review

Projects and Tasks

• Added as a member to a project
• Task created in your project
• Task assignment changes

Notes

• A note has been shared with you

Tickets

• Tickets submitted for approval
• Tickets approved or rejected

Email Notifications

In addition to in-app notifications, TekToro sends email alerts for important events. Email notifications include:

• Project digests — summaries of project activity
• Task assignments — notifications when you are assigned to a task
• Note shares — alerts when someone shares a note with you
• Ticket approval digests — summaries of tickets awaiting your approval
• Invoice status changes — emails when invoices are approved, rejected, or paid

Email notifications use digest consolidation — related events are grouped together to reduce inbox clutter rather than sending a separate email for each event.

Notification Lifecycle

• Notifications are created when events occur and delivered in real time
• Each notification has an expiration time — after which it is automatically removed
• Dismissed notifications are permanently removed from your notification center
• Clicking a notification's link takes you directly to the relevant page or item
