Notifications
Configure Nebula notifications — read your inbox, choose delivery channels like email, Slack, and mobile push, and set rules for what reaches you.
Notifications keep you on top of what's happening in your workspace — mentions, finished tasks, jobs that ran, and more. Everything lands in your in-app inbox, and you decide which events also reach you by email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, or mobile push.
Your inbox
Open the inbox from Notifications in the sidebar. It sits second in the list, under Home, and carries a count of how many unread notifications you have.
Click Notifications in the sidebar to open them, newest first. Each one shows who it's from, what happened, and how long ago.
Click any notification to jump to the thread, conversation, or invite it points at. Opening it also marks it read.
Clear everything with Mark all read in the top-right. New notifications also slide in as a popup while you work — click it to open, or dismiss it with the X. It pauses when you hover, and settles its count into the sidebar row when it closes.
When a busy inbox buries the things you care about, filter it by type — All, Mentions, Needs input, Tasks, Jobs, Other — to focus on one kind at a time.
Need to focus? Turn on Do Not Disturb from the notifications page to pause the on-screen pop-ups for a set time. Your inbox and any email, Slack, or mobile delivery keep working — only the pop-up cards go quiet until the timer ends.
What you get notified about
Your inbox always receives every event below. The descriptions match what Nebula shows when you build a rule.
| Event | When you get it |
|---|---|
| Mention | Someone @-mentioned you in a thread |
| Needs your input | An agent paused awaiting your input |
| Task completed | An agent task finished successfully |
| Task failed | An agent task ran into an error |
| Job completed | A job ran to completion |
| Job failed | A job errored before completing |
| Goal completed | An agent finished pursuing a goal |
| Billing | Low or depleted Nebula Credits or Tool Credits, or payment issues |
| Workspace invite | You were invited to a workspace |
One more arrives on its own: when a job can't run because a connected app's authorization has broken, Nebula sends a Reconnect needed alert naming the job and the app to reconnect, filed under Jobs in your inbox and pushed to your email and phone as well. It fires once when the connection breaks rather than on every failed run, and it isn't a rule you build — a job silently not running is worth interrupting you for.
Choose where notifications reach you
Go to Settings → Notifications to manage your destinations — "where Nebula can reach you." Your inbox always gets everything; destinations are for delivery beyond the inbox.

EmailMobile
Settings → Notifications
Every notification appears in the inbox behind the bell, with an unread dot until you open it. Always on — nothing to set up.
Delivered to your account email. Always available as a destination.
Push notifications from the browser you're reading this in, so you hear about things with Nebula in a background tab. Allow notifications when your browser asks and this browser becomes a destination — each one you sign in from is its own.
Push notifications on the Nebula mobile app. Install the app and sign in, and your phone shows up as a connected destination.
Direct messages from the Nebula bot on each platform. Connect the integration first, then it becomes a destination you can deliver to.
SMS isn't available yet — only the channels above can be selected today. On the desktop app, activity surfaces in the Capsule rather than as operating-system notifications.
Set up delivery rules
A rule says "for this event, also notify me on these channels." Add as many as you like in Settings → Notifications.
In Settings → Notifications, click Add rule.
Pick the event — Mention, Task completed, Job failed, Billing, and so on.
Under Deliver via, choose one or more destinations (Email, Browser, Mobile, Slack, Discord, Telegram). Leave it empty to keep that event inbox-only.
Save. The rule now shows the event and its delivery channels. Edit or delete it anytime from the same page.
Scope a rule to a channel, agent, or job
You don't have to be notified about everything of a kind — you can narrow a rule to a single channel, agent, or job using its bell.
Open the channel header, agent details, or job details and click the bell — it reads Get notified (or Edit notifications if a rule already exists).
Under Notify me about, check the events you care about for that specific entity. Each one becomes a scoped rule.
Use Manage delivery in the popover to jump to Settings and pick which channels those scoped notifications go to.
Sound effects
Below Do Not Disturb, a Sounds card controls the audio cues Nebula plays as you work. The master switch turns the lot on or off, and three toggles let you keep the ones you want.
Cues for your own actions — a message sent, a send that failed.
Cues when agents respond or need attention anywhere in the workspace.
Call cues — connecting, people joining and leaving, mute, and work being dispatched.
Sound settings are per browser rather than per account, so turning them off on your laptop won't quiet another machine you sign in on. Everything starts switched on.
Notifications are scoped to the workspace you're in — switch workspaces from the top-left dropdown to manage another one. Need a hand? Ask Nebula directly in chat, or email support@nebula.gg.

Creating Miniapps
Describe the tool you want in a channel and Nebula builds it — a one-line prompt is enough to spin up a dashboard, map, form, or simulator.
