For some activities within the platform, email notifications are sent out.
How quickly a notification is sent from the system depends on how "nice to have" the notification is assumed to be.
If you are tagged in a comment on a task or an observation, you will receive a notification within the next 5 minutes.
For tasks you follow or observations you holde a role in, the default platform behaviour is to send you a daily summary of activity.
For tasks, check out Følgere for which types of activities followers are notificed of.
For observations, anyone holding a role in the observation are notified of new comments.
If you want to be notified within a 5 minute period for these types of notifications as well, you can activate this in your personal settings.
