Slack Off: no Slack DM delivery for that event type.

Defaults

When no custom preference exists:

In-app delivery is enabled.
Mentions default to instant email.
Invitations default to instant email.
CI failures default to instant email.
Most other email events default to digest.
Slack defaults to off.

Rules and exceptions

Tixio skips self-notifications when you are the actor who made the change.
Mentions win over comment/status notifications for the same recipient and change.
Mentions are always eligible for in-app delivery.
If email or Slack is enabled for mentions, mention delivery is instant.
Project and issue mutes suppress ordinary notifications but do not suppress direct mentions.
Archived notifications do not count toward the active unread bell badge.
Slack delivery requires workspace Slack installation and a linked Slack user account.

Notification destinations

Clicking a notification can open:

Issue detail for issue-linked notifications.
Cycle detail for cycle-start notifications when cycle/project context is available.
Invitation routes for membership invitations.

Some notifications may have no click-through target if the underlying issue, comment, or route context is unavailable. They can still be marked read or archived.

Digest timing

Digest timing is set per workspace user:

Daily digests use the selected UTC hour.
Weekly digests use the selected weekday and UTC hour.

The digest schedule applies to both email and Slack event types set to Digest.
