Inbox

The inbox collects what concerns you: when someone assigns you to a card or a checklist item, or comments on a card you created or are assigned to. The bell in the header shows the number of unread items and updates live.

What lands in your inbox

Event	Example
You are assigned to a card	“Anna assigned you”
A comment on a card you are involved in	“Ben commented”
A checklist item is given to you	“Anna gave you a checklist item”
An answer or a comment on a date poll you created	“Ben answered your date poll”
A booking you host is made, moved or cancelled	“New booking”, “A booking was moved”

Your own actions never create inbox items. Changes made by imports or system processes are silent.

Working with the inbox

• Click the bell or open Inbox from the menu.
• Click an item to open the card with its details.
• Mark all as read clears the unread count.

The summary e-mail

Once a week – Monday at 07:30 in your time zone, or daily if you prefer and one of your organizations has a paid plan – Contals sends a short summary: what is waiting for you (overdue cards, cards due soon, checklist items, cards without activity for a while, unread notifications) and what others changed on your boards. Empty summaries are never sent. Choose the day, the time and what it includes under Profile → Summary e-mail and notifications – details in notifications. What reaches you by push or by e-mail as well – and when not, in your quiet hours – is set on the same page.

Tip

Use My cards together with the inbox: the inbox tells you what changed, My cards shows what you are responsible for.
