🔔Notifications

Cycle notifications help you stay on top of what matters, without ping overload.

Whether you’re working through feedback, updating a request, or collaborating on a feature, Cycle ensures you’re looped in when something relevant happens.

Types of Notifications

There are two main types of notifications in Cycle:

1. Standard Notifications

You’ll receive these when you’re directly involved in product work. For example:

• You’re @mentioned in a doc.

• You’re marked as an assignee or reporter to a Feedback, Quote or Request.

• Someone comments on a doc you’re following.

These notifications show up:

• 🔔 In the Cycle app

• 📩 Via email (optional - integration setup needed)

• 💬 In Slack (optional - integration setup needed)

You can fine-tune your preferences in your Account Settings → Notifications.

2. Closing the Loop Notifications

These are status-driven notifications designed to update stakeholders when progress happens on feedback or related docs.

They’re triggered automatically when a Request moves through different statuses like for example:

• From “Not Started” → “Started”

• From “Started” → “Completed”

• From “Completed” → “Canceled”

🔁 When a Request's status updates:

• All linked Quotes will have the new status

• Related Feedback reporters are notified

• Updates can be sent via integrations like Slack, Email or Intercom, depending on workspace setup

This helps product teams share progress without manual follow-ups.

You can adjust when and how you get notified:

• Go to Account Settings to manage email and in-app alerts

• Customize what triggers notifications and where they’re delivered
