Notification Settings
Control which events trigger a notification and how each one is delivered. The Notifications page lists every event type in RadixHR — attendance, leave, payroll, and more — and lets you toggle delivery on or off per channel (Email, WhatsApp, In-App).
What you can do here:
- Browse every notification type, filtered by category
- Search for a specific notification by name
- Turn Email or In-App delivery on/off for each notification
- See how many notifications are enabled per channel in each category (e.g.,
0/23) - Save changes in bulk, or reset back to system defaults
- Switch to the Activity tab to see a log of recently sent notifications
This page is reached via Settings → General → Notifications in the sidebar, but its actual address is /settings/notifications — it’s no longer nested under a /general/ URL segment, though it’s still grouped under General in the nav.
Page Header

Preferences and Activity Tabs
The page has two tabs:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Preferences | The category/channel configuration described in this page — the default tab |
| Activity | A log of notifications RadixHR has actually sent recently, so you can check whether a specific alert went out |
Toolbar
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search | Filter the list to notifications whose name matches your text |
| Category dropdown (top-right, defaults to All) | Pick a single category to view, or leave on All to browse every category’s notifications together |
| Email / WhatsApp / In-App | Per-row toggle buttons. WhatsApp is marked Soon — it isn’t live yet. |
Categories
Notifications are grouped into the following categories. The number next to each name is the total notifications in that group.
| Category | Count | What it covers |

Counts may vary slightly between workspaces depending on which modules are enabled. The screenshot above was captured from a workspace with all standard modules active.
Inside a Category
Pick a category from the dropdown (or leave it on All). You’ll see:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Category heading | The category name and its total notification count (e.g., Attendance 23), with a Bulk Actions menu on the right |
| Notification row | Each row has the notification name, a one-line description, and three toggle buttons — Email, WhatsApp, In-App |
| Lock icon | When shown on a row, that notification is required and can’t be turned off — typically for critical alerts like security and salary |
