Taming the Beast of Information Overload


As momrepreneurs, we're juggling families, businesses, and, oh, about a trillion things per day. So, in a world full of distractions (hello, kids screaming and toys scattered everywhere), it's crucial for us to stay focused on the right things. Enter ClickUp's Inbox feature!

This stellar update is not into playing hard-to-get; it's here to simplify your life by helping you manage your notifications like a boss. Gone are the days of scrolling endlessly through notifications, trying to find the right information and respond in a timely manner. ClickUp has completely revamped the notifications experience with their all-new Inbox. It's like having an email-like hub where you can seamlessly communicate across all your Docs, tasks, and projects - all in one central place.

Remember the old version of Notifications? It was as chaotic as a toddler's birthday party. Scrolling through endless updates was like searching for a needle in a haystack. But fear not, because ClickUp has heard our cries for help and completely reimagined the notifications experience with the all-new Inbox!

With the new Inbox, your notifications are organized intuitively, making it a breeze to respond and communicate with others. No more wasting time searching for that one message buried deep in your feed. Plus, you can view your work and respond to notifications side-by-side with the context you need. Take a look at the difference for yourself and prepare to be amazed! Ready to dive in? Let's get rolling!

The Meaty Middle: Four Keys to Commanding Your ClickUp Notifications  

Get to Know the Lay of the Land 


 ClickUp 3.0's Inbox comes with a range of features designed to make your life easier. Let's break it down: 

  • Inbox Messages: Click on the Inbox to review and respond to your notifications. The number shown here indicates the number of unread messages waiting for you.

  • Inbox Toggle: Easily switch between the Inbox tabs: Important, Other, Snoozed, and Cleared, so you can effectively respond to what's top of mind.

  • Details and Activity Tabs: It's like having a backstage pass to all the action! View and respond to notifications of tasks, Docs, or other work in the Messages tab. See all updates in tasks or Docs in the Activity tab to stay on top of changes.

  • Read/Unread/Snoozed Messages: Click on an unread message to view it in context side-by-side with the associated task or Doc. Once you read a notification group, it'll be marked as read in the Inbox before you clear it. Manually mark a notification group as unread to return to it later or snooze to temporarily hide notifications from your Inbox until a certain date or time, or if there's an update.

  • Inbox Filters and View Options: Select a filter at the top-right corner to prioritize your notifications and see messages and activity your way. Customize it to fit your needs and preferences.

Wham, bam, thank you ma'am—your notifications just got a whole lot easier to handle!

Divide, Conquer, and Take Charge of Your Notifications

Holy cow, some messages are as important as that hot cup of coffee after an all-nighter, while others are less urgent than deciding which Netflix series to binge next (*don't worry, I won't tell anyone!*). We all know how overwhelming notifications can be, especially when you're juggling a million things at once (hello, mom life!).

From the Inbox, you have the power to:

  • View your messages and activity separately, helping you maintain focus. No more getting distracted by unnecessary updates!
  • Respond and clear notifications with the task side-by-side, so you have all the context you need right at your fingertips.
  • Mark your messages as read or unread and revisit them anytime before or after clearing them. Because let's be honest, sometimes we need a little reminder (or five).
  • Filter the Inbox to see what matters most to you, identifying high-priority notifications and taking action on them with ease.
