Notifications play a key role in keeping team members connected and informed. With Pibox, you can receive updates about all important activity — new messages, file uploads, comments, and project changes — so nothing slips through the cracks.
Notification types
Pibox sends notifications for a wide range of activities. Each type is designed to help you stay aware of what’s happening across your teams and projects:
User joins/leaves team - get notified when a new member joins your team or when someone leaves, so the active team list is always clear.
User joins/leaves project - track who is joining or exiting specific projects to better understand project participation and workflow changes.
User joins/leaves playlist - stay updated on who has access to collaborative playlists and when someone joins or leaves.
Mentions (@username) - receive an alert any time someone tags you directly in a comment or discussion, ensuring you never miss a message meant specifically for you.
Chat messages - get notified when someone sends a new message in any of your active chats.
File uploads - know immediately when new files, drafts, or updates are uploaded to your project.
Comments and replies - stay on top of all feedback by receiving a notification when someone comments or replies on files or within discussions.
File status changes - find out instantly when a file status is updated (e.g., Approved, In Review, Needs Changes).
Notification delivery channels
Pibox supports three ways to receive notifications:
Email notifications – Delivered straight to your inbox.
Notification Center – View all recent activity directly inside Pibox.
Push notifications – Instant alerts on your mobile device via the iOS or Android app.
Each delivery type can be turned on/off individually — so you only receive notifications the way you prefer.
