MateFlow keeps you in the loop through notifications, and you decide exactly how much you hear. From Settings › Notifications you can turn delivery on or off, choose per-category settings, set preferences for individual spaces, and manage what you have muted. Everything is organized into four tabs: Preferences, Categories, Spaces, and Muted.
Choose your delivery channels
Open the Preferences tab to control the three ways MateFlow can reach you. Each is a master switch:
- Email — notifications sent to your inbox.
- Push — alerts on your mobile device.
- In-app — the notification bell inside MateFlow.
Turning a channel off here disables it everywhere, so it overrides the per-category settings below. Each switch also shows how many categories are currently active for that channel.
Set your event reminders and email digest
Still on the Preferences tab, two more controls shape your inbox:
- Event reminder default — choose how far ahead of an event you are reminded: off, 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day before.
- Email digest frequency — choose how often MateFlow bundles activity into a summary email: Real-time, Daily, Weekly, or Off. The digest requires email to be enabled.
Tune notifications by category
The Categories tab lets you decide, category by category, which channels deliver each type of notification. Categories are grouped so they are easy to scan:
| Group | Includes |
|---|---|
| Social | New followers, likes, comments, mentions, and reposts |
| Activity | Direct messages, space activity, and event reminders |
| Achievements | Badges you earn |
Each category has its own Email, Push, and In-app switches. For example, you might keep mentions on every channel but limit likes to in-app only. If a channel's master switch is off in Preferences, its per-category switches are disabled until you turn it back on.
Set preferences per space
The Spaces tab lists the spaces you belong to, each with its own notification level so busy spaces do not overwhelm you:
- All — get notified about everything.
- Highlights — only the most important activity.
- Mentions only — just when you are mentioned.
- Off — no notifications from that space.
Space levels save automatically as you change them, so there is no separate save step on this tab.
Manage what you have muted
The Muted tab shows everything you have silenced, grouped into Users, Posts, and Spaces. Muting a specific post is handy when a thread you are part of keeps pinging you. Select Unmute next to any entry to start hearing from it again.
Saving your changes
On the Preferences and Categories tabs, use the Save button to apply your changes. The Spaces and Muted tabs save each action on its own, so no button is needed there.
