Quieting Slack alerts

Katalyz can notify you about a lot. If Slack is getting too noisy, here's how to turn down the volume.

Turn off specific notification types

Go to Settings → Notifications.

For each event category, uncheck the Slack column for notifications you don't need in Slack. Keep them on for Katalyz in-app or email if you still want to know.

High-signal / keep on:

You were mentioned
A task is late
A buyer opened an invitation
Step / task completed on a room you own

Low-signal / consider turning off:

User logged into a room
Comment on a room you own (mention-only is usually enough)
Someone viewed a step's details

Use digest mode

Switch Slack frequency from Instantly to Daily — you'll get one grouped message at the end of the day instead of a continuous stream. To turn it off entirely, pick Never.

On the Slack side, the only frequencies available are Instantly, Daily, and Never — there's no hourly digest.

Settings → Notifications → Slack frequency.

Mute the Katalyz channel in Slack

If notifications go to a shared channel, you can mute the channel from Slack:

Right-click the channel → Mute channel
Or set channel preferences to "Mentions only"

This hides the channel from your sidebar unless you're mentioned — you still have access when you want to check.

Tune which events trigger a notification

Katalyz Slack notifications are delivered as direct messages from the Katalyz bot — there's no team-channel routing. Quieting happens per user, in the Notifications panel of your profile. Each event type has its own toggle, so you can keep the signal you care about and silence the rest.

See Notification preferences for the full list of toggles.

Disconnect Slack entirely

If Slack notifications aren't worth the noise for you, the cleanest move is to rely on Katalyz in-app + email instead:

Settings → Notifications → turn off the global Slack toggle

You keep the Slack integration connected (for future use) but suppress all Slack notifications.
