Notification settings

Set how Letro notifies you across every conversation — your default alert level, mentions and keywords, and email notifications — all in one place.

On Web & Desktop

  1. Click your avatar in the top-left, then click Settings.
  2. Click Notifications.
  3. Make sure the main Enable notifications for this account toggle is on. If it's off, Letro won't notify you anywhere.
  4. Under Default setting, choose the level you want for new conversations:
  5. All messages — get notified for every new message.
  6. Mentions & keywords only — get notified only when someone @mentions you or uses a keyword you've set.
  7. Under Mentions & keywords, turn on the alerts you want (for example, notify me when someone @mentions me, or when my display name is used). Add any keywords you want to be alerted on — type a word and press Enter.
  8. Under Email notifications, toggle on the address you'd like Letro to email when you're away and miss something.
  9. Your changes save as you make them.

Good to know

  • These settings are app-wide — they set the default for every conversation and sync across your devices. To change alerts for just one silo, use its own notification setting; that choice overrides the default here. See Notifications for a conversation.
  • Keywords are your own words to watch for — a project name, a client, your nickname. When one appears in any conversation you're in, Letro alerts you even if that silo is set to mentions-only.
  • Email notifications are a backstop for when you're offline. Letro emails a summary of what you missed to the address you enable; it never sends message contents in a way that weakens encryption.
  • Turning off the master toggle silences Letro everywhere, but leaves your per-silo and keyword choices saved for when you turn it back on.
  • If notifications aren't reaching you on any device even with everything enabled here, the cause is usually device- or system-level, not these settings. See Notifications aren't arriving.
