Alerts
Notifications
Notifications highlight budget risk, approvals, and data trust events without spamming you.
What triggers notifications
- Overspending and underfunded obligations.
- Approvals and guardrail requests.
- Scheduled backups and data trust events.
Daily digest + cooldown
Similar alerts are bundled into a single daily digest. If an issue stays unresolved, SlateSpend waits for the cooldown window before re-notifying.
Example
Dining Out is overspent by $120 and still unresolved.
You see one digest per day until it is fixed or the cooldown resets.
Step-by-step
- Open Notifications from the bell icon.
- Review items in the Unread tab.
- Take action: Review budget, Approve, or Fix data.
- Mark read or archive to clear the inbox.
Resolve vs archive
- Mark resolved: hides the alert and stops repeats.
- If the issue persists, the alert can re-open after cooldown or a meaningful change.
- Archive: keeps history without crowding your inbox.
Tune notifications
Use the Tune notifications link on any card to adjust email and in-app delivery, quiet hours, and limits.
Troubleshooting
- No emails: check Email preferences in Settings -> Notifications.
- Too many alerts: tighten your rules or increase cooldown.
- Bell count stuck: refresh or mark all as read.
