ProductiveRecruit alerts you the moment a coach engages (an open, a click, a profile view, a reply) plus your own tasks and checklist steps as they come due. Most of these are always on; only one is something you switch yourself.
Where notifications live
Click the bell icon to open the notifications flyout. It shows your unread count and the oldest 10 unread notifications, each with an icon, the alert text, a relative timestamp, and a Clear button.
Clearing a notification deletes it — permanently. There's no history or archive to revisit later, and Mark all as read deletes every unread notification at once. Read what you need before you clear it.
What triggers a notification
| Event | Example text | Where it shows |
|---|---|---|
| A coach opens your email | "{College} opened your email" | In-app only |
| A coach clicks a link in your email | "{College} clicked a link in your email" | In-app only |
| A coach replies to your email | "{College} replied to your email" | In-app, plus email in some cases |
| A coach views your profile | "{College} just viewed your profile" | In-app + email |
| A coach watches your video | "{College} just viewed your video" | In-app only |
| A staff member assigns you a task | "{Name} has assigned you a task for {college}" | In-app + email |
| A task is due today or overdue | "You have {n} tasks due today" | In-app + daily email digest |
| You're enrolled in a checklist | "You were enrolled in a checklist: {name}" | In-app + email |
| A checklist step is due | "You have a step due for the {checklist} checklist" | In-app + email |
| Staff adds a note to your program | "{Name} has added a note to {college}" | In-app + email |
| Staff recommends a target school | "{Name} has recommended you add {college} to your target list!" | In-app + email |
Bot and scanner opens/clicks never trigger a notification. Only real engagement does. See Opens, clicks & views explained for how that's determined.
The one setting you control
Every notification above fires automatically with no toggle — except profile views. In Account Settings, the "Profile view notifications" switch controls whether a coach viewing your profile emails you (it's off by default). Everything else in this list is always on.
Even with the switch off, a profile view still shows up in-app and in your activity feed — the setting only controls the extra email alert.
Task and checklist reminders
Task due-dates and checklist steps don't get a configurable reminder schedule (no "remind me 3 days before"). Instead, a daily digest email rounds up everything due today or overdue, and your dashboard surfaces anything due within the next 3 days so you don't have to wait for the email to notice.
