Set up project alerts
To keep a better track of your project estimates, you can set up Alerts and get an email notification when a project has reached a certain percentage of its estimated time or expenses.
To get notified when someone tracks too much time, set up overtime reminders.
Steps to set up project alerts #
To create a project alert:
- Click Projects from the sidebar
- Click the Alerts icon on the upper right
3. Click Add on the next page
4. Set the alert by defining the following details:
- Select if the alert is for a Project or Task
- Set a percentage of the project estimate
- Select who will be alerted
If you exclude non-billable time from a project’s estimate, project status trackers and alerts will only count billable hours.
Project alerts are sent when the set percentage of estimated time is reached. In case someone edits their time and the percentage goes below the one that is set, an alert will be sent again when it reaches the set percentage of the estimate.
Alerts apply to all projects that have estimates. Check out how to set up rates and project estimates.
Alerts are generated and sent at the 30-minute mark of each hour.
Only users added to the project, in the Access tab, receive alerts. Making a project public allows others to see it, but doesn’t include them in alerts.
Users who haven’t verified their email address won’t receive alerts at all.
Remove alerts #
To delete the alert, simply click the X on the very right hand side of the Alert you’d like to remove and select Delete.
