Our notification system alerts you when new tasks become available. Upon signing into the platform, a pop-up will prompt you to enable notifications. Currently, notifications are supported for the following task types:

• Post-editing
• Review
• Segment Curation

Setting up the task notification in the browser

4. Pressing "Allow" enables browser notifications when new tasks become available, while pressing "Block" disables them.

• This dialog will not appear again. If you want to change your decision, you must update your notification settings in your browser. You can either modify the permission or remove it entirely, which will trigger the pop-up again.
• Alternatively, clearing your browser cache will also reset the notification prompt.

Example of notifications in MacOS

For notifications to work, Unbabel must remain open in a browser tab. If you close the tab, you will not receive notifications.
