Notifications
Redstick Agents provides real-time notifications for execution events, team activity, and action items.
Notification Delivery#
Notifications are delivered through two channels:
- Real-time WebSocket — Instant push to the browser
- Email digests — Periodic email summaries of unread notifications
Notification Types#
Execution Events#
- Task started — An agent execution has begun
- Task completed — An agent finished its task
- Task failed — An agent encountered an error
- Task timed out — An execution exceeded its time limit
- Task needs approval — An execution needs your approval before continuing
Session Events#
- Session started — A planning or workflow session has begun
- Session paused — A session is waiting for input
- Session resumed — A paused session has restarted
- Session crashed — A session encountered a fatal error
- Session idle timeout — A session was stopped due to inactivity
Notification Center#
Access the notification center from the sidebar:
- Unread count badge shows pending notifications
- Action required summary highlights items needing your attention
- Thread view — Related notifications are grouped into threads
- Mark as read — Mark individual or bulk notifications as read
- Dismiss — Remove notifications you've handled
Preferences#
Customize notification behavior from Notification Preferences:
- Enable/disable notifications per channel
- Control which event types trigger notifications
- Configure email digest frequency
Email Digests#
The platform sends periodic email digests summarizing unread notifications. The digest sender runs as a background task and batches notifications to avoid excessive emails.
Retention#
Old notifications are automatically pruned by the retention pruner background task. This keeps the notification list manageable and the database clean.
