Notifications
Stay on top of your schedule with customizable notifications. Samvise can notify you by email and inside the app.
Notification Channels
Email — reminders and digests sent to your account email.
In-app — notifications appear in the app's notification center.
Turn each channel on or off independently in Settings > Notifications.
Notification Types
Each type can be toggled individually:
Task Reminders
- An alert before a scheduled task begins
- Lead time is configurable: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 1 day before
Due Today
- A heads-up about tasks due today
Overdue Alerts
- Reminders about tasks past their due date
Schedule Changes
- Notification when your schedule is updated
Weekly Digest
- A weekly summary of completed and upcoming work
Quiet Hours
Don't disturb during set times:
- Settings > Notifications > Quiet hours
- Toggle quiet hours on
- Set a start time (e.g., 10 PM) and end time (e.g., 8 AM)
During quiet hours, reminders are held rather than delivered.
Troubleshooting
Not Receiving Emails
Check the channel toggle
- Settings > Notifications — verify email notifications are on
- Verify the specific notification type is enabled
Check your spam folder
- Emails may be filtered as spam
- Add the sender to your contacts and mark as "Not Spam"
Check quiet hours
- Reminders are suppressed during quiet hours
Too Many Notifications
- Disable notification types you don't need
- Use quiet hours for sleep and focus time
- Lengthen the reminder lead time so alerts arrive in one predictable window
Best Practices
- Start conservative — enable only essential notifications, add more as needed
- Use quiet hours — protect your sleep and focus time
- Review occasionally — adjust settings as your workflow changes
