Notifications in Current: the bell, email, and Teams

2 min read · Updated Jul 17, 2026

Current tries hard not to be noisy. The in-app bell catches everything in real time and always stays on — it's the one channel you can't turn off, because it's the one place you should always be able to check. Email and Microsoft Teams are optional add-on channels you choose per event type.

The three channels

Admin → Notifications: who gets alerted for what, and on which channel.
  • In-app bell — always on, shows every notification the moment it happens.
  • Email — beautifully formatted alerts sent to your inbox for the event types you choose.
  • Microsoft Teams — get @mentioned directly in the project's Teams channel, for teams that live in Teams day-to-day.

Setting your preferences

  1. 1
    Open the account menu
    Click your name or avatar in the top corner of Current.
  2. 2
    Choose Notifications
    This opens the notification preferences dialog — there's no separate settings page for this, it's a focused dialog you can reopen any time.
  3. 3
    Turn on the channels you want
    Toggle email and/or Teams delivery on. The bell stays on regardless.
  4. 4
    Choose your event types
    Pick which events reach you beyond the bell: weekly summary, new assignments, project alerts, mentions, comments, cleared-to-start, and won quotes. If you have CRM access, you'll also see lead, deal, campaign, import, and sync-health events grouped separately.
  5. 5
    Save
    Your choices apply immediately — no need to log out or refresh.

Mentions and comments

When someone @mentions you in a comment, or replies on a task or partner conversation you're part of, that fires a notification right away — to the bell always, and to email if you've turned mentions or comments on. Comments on a partner-facing conversation use a version of the alert that never exposes internal staff details, so it's safe even when a partner is on the other end of the thread.

Note
Weekly summary
If you turn it on, the weekly summary email arrives once a week with a roundup of what needs your attention — a lighter-touch alternative to checking the bell every day.
Tip
Teams and email aren't a fallback for each other
Turning off email doesn't quietly reroute those alerts through Teams, or vice versa — each channel only delivers what you've explicitly turned on for it.
