Notifications

Forja includes an in-app notification system that keeps you informed about important events and updates within your sites.

Accessing Notifications

There are two ways to access your notifications:

1. Notification bell -- click the bell icon in the top bar. A badge shows the number of unread notifications.
2. Notifications page -- navigate to Notifications in the sidebar for a full-page view.

Notification Types

Notifications are generated for various events:

Event	Description
Member added	You have been added to a site.
Role changed	Your role on a site has been updated.
Content published	A post you authored or are watching has been published.
Webhook failure	A webhook delivery has failed repeatedly.
System updates	Important system-level announcements from the platform administrator.

Notification List

The notification list shows:

Field	Description
Icon	An icon indicating the notification type.
Message	A brief description of the event.
Timestamp	When the notification was created (relative, e.g., "5 minutes ago").
Read status	Unread notifications are highlighted; read ones are dimmed.

Notifications are sorted with the newest at the top.

Reading Notifications

• Click a notification to view its full details. If the notification relates to a specific resource (e.g., a blog post), clicking it navigates you to that resource.
• Notifications are automatically marked as read when you click them.
