Overview
The notification center helps you stay up to date with your learning journey without leaving Forge. All your important updates and alerts are gathered in one place, directly within the web interface.
Accessing your notifications
- Find the bell icon in the Forge top bar (available on both desktop and mobile web).
- A badge shows the number of unread notifications.
- Click the bell to open the notification center and review your updates.
The Notifications page
At the bottom of the notification center, click See all notifications to open the dedicated page, which brings your coach messages and product updates together in one place. There you'll find:
- Two tabs — All and Unread — with the unread count shown on the right.
- A Mark all read button.
- Grouping by date: Today, Yesterday, This week, then Earlier.
- An icon per notification type, and the workspace it concerns below each row.
Types of notifications
The notification center informs you about events related to your learning:
- New message from your coach — Your coach has written to you.
- New activity available — An activity generated for you is ready (podcast, quiz, flashcards, etc.).
- Coach ready or coach assigned — A coach has just been created or assigned to you.
- Enrollment in a coach or a learning program.
- Workspace invitation — Someone invites you to join their workspace.
- Progress nudges and re-engagement messages — Your coach's personalized messages (see the section below).
Each notification shows the workspace it belongs to — handy if you are a member of several workspaces.
Managing your notifications
- Open — Click a notification to go straight to the related item (coach, activity, etc.). If the item belongs to another workspace, you'll be asked to confirm before switching workspaces.
- Mark as read — Opened notifications are marked as read and the unread badge updates.
Personalized messages from your coach
Beyond event notifications, your coach can send you written messages:
- Progress nudges — When a concrete next step is waiting in your coaching plan, your coach may send a personalized message inviting you to move forward. Opening the notification brings up the conversation, and the coach picks up right on that opportunity.
- Re-engagement — After a period of inactivity, your coach may send a welcome-back message, also personalized based on your recent exchanges.
These messages reach you both in the bell (on desktop and mobile web) and as a push notification if you use the Forge mobile app, so you won't miss them if you only work from a browser. Clicking from the bell and tapping the push notification do the same thing.
The frequency of these messages is deliberately limited (a few per week at most), and they back off on their own if you don't respond to them.
