Pronto uses notifications to alert you when there is an activity in all your groups and direct message conversations. To ensure you don’t miss anything, the default setting is to notify you for every new message. But after you’ve become familiar with Pronto you may want to limit overall notifications or just those from particular groups. Pronto gives you the power to customize your experience to get all the notifications you want, and none of the ones you don’t.

You can control notification at a global level and at an individual-specific group level using Group Overrides. See the Group Overrides article for more information. Global Notifications allow you to control all groups as one. This eliminates a lot of time when you just want to set specific settings and control everything simultaneously.

First, click or tap on the gear icon next to your name in the sidebar to access your user settings screen. Then tap or click the “Notifications” option.

Note: If you are signed in to multiple accounts, you will need to select and configure each account separately.

On this screen, you can decide what your default setting will be for all groups and direct message conversations. Don’t worry though, you can override this for specific groups later.
