Notification Settings
Set your Muin notification preferences — pick a channel per alert category (in-app, email, WhatsApp, SMS, push), choose immediate or digest delivery, and set your digest time and quiet hours. Preferences are yours, per organization.
Notification settings control which alerts reach you, on which channel, and how often. Preferences are yours and are held per organization — if you belong to more than one organization in Muin, each keeps its own independent settings, including its own digest time.
Notification Channels
Muin delivers notifications through these channels. Which ones a category offers depends on the category — every category supports in-app and email; WhatsApp and SMS appear only where that category supports them.
| Channel | Where it appears |
|---|---|
| In-app | Bell icon in the navigation bar |
| Sent to your registered email address | |
| Sent to your WhatsApp number, on categories that support it | |
| SMS | Sent as a text message, on categories that support it |
| Push | Browser push and, if you use the Muin mobile app, a device notification |
Slack is a separate integration (Settings → Slack) used for approvals and status messages. It is not one of the channels you pick per category here.
Who Gets Notified by Default
Each event has a default audience. Go to Settings → Notifications to adjust how those alerts reach you; who is on the list for an event is determined by the record and the roles involved.

Email Template Customization
Notification emails use your organization’s branding (logo, colors) set in Settings → Branding.
To customize the content of specific notification emails:
- Go to Settings → Email Templates
- Select the template you want to edit
- Modify the subject line and body using the template editor
- Use
{{variables}}to insert dynamic content (recipient name, record details, links) - Preview and save
See Email Templates for the full template reference.
Digest Delivery
Instead of an email per event, a category can roll its emails into a summary:
- Go to Settings → Notifications
- On any category that supports it, set the delivery dropdown to Daily Digest or Weekly Digest (the default is Immediate)
- Set Digest delivery time once — it applies to every digest category in this organization
Digest is chosen per category, so you can keep urgent alerts immediate and batch the rest. The in-app notification still appears straight away; only the email waits for the digest. Categories that do not offer a delivery dropdown are always sent immediately.
Quiet Hours
Set a quiet-hours window so Muin holds non-urgent notifications outside your working day. Quiet hours are stored with the rest of your preferences for this organization, alongside your digest time and time zone.
Held, not cancelled. An email, SMS, WhatsApp message, Slack DM, or push that arrives inside your quiet window is queued and sent as soon as the window ends — never dropped. No channel is an exception. The window is read in your own time zone, so an overnight window such as 22:00–07:00 releases at 07:00 your time. In-app notifications still appear immediately; they make no sound, so quiet hours never delay them.
Urgent safety and coverage alerts bypass quiet hours by design and are delivered right away.
