Nothing shows in my Inbox

The Inbox is empty, or something you expected is not in it.

Quick question

What do you see?

  • It says All clear

    Answer what is waiting

    1. Click Inbox at the top of the projects column, or press Command plus QCtrl plus Q. The number next to it is how many items need you.

    2. Click an item. It opens on the right.

    3. Reply to the agent, or act on the item. For a request to approve, see Approve what your agents ask for.

    Items are grouped by project or by source (for example Approvals, SMS or Briefings), and each group shows its count. Inside a group, the item that has waited longest comes first.

    When you finish an item, the Inbox opens the next one for you. When nothing is left, it shows All clear. If the session you are reading starts working again on its own, you stay on it and watch it run.

  • Something I snoozed or dismissed is gone

    • Snooze... hides it and brings it back later. Type when, like 2h, tomorrow 5pm or Friday. For a session, you can also press HH.

    • Move to moves a session to another project.

    • Pause pauses a session that is still running.

    To archive the session you have open, press Command plus WCtrl plus W. A snoozed item comes back on its own when its time is up.

  • A whole kind of item never shows up (SMS, approvals, sessions)

    Choose what shows up

    Each source (sessions, SMS, approvals, digests and more) has its own switch in Settings > Inbox. Turning one off hides its items from the Inbox; it does not delete them.
