Notifications

A notification system has been implemented using Slack and email. Notifications will be sent to relevant team members when certain events occur, such as comment, request or description changes. This system is designed to ensure that all team members are kept informed and up-to-date on important developments.

If there is an owner, then the notification is sent to them. If there is no owner, the system sends the notification to the admin.

Two types of notifications:

• Direct Notifications: These notifications are triggered by a user's action and are sent instantly.

• Digest Notifications: Notifications are grouped to avoid disturbing the user. We check for any activity in the last hour, and if there is none, we send the notification group. However, if it has been more than 12 hours since the last notification, we send the group immediately.
