You receive notifications when changes are made in kintone apps, spaces, and so on.
Notifications can be viewed for 70 days. You will not be able to view them after 70 days from the date they are received. If you mark your notifications with a flag, you can view them until they are unflagged even after 70 days from the date they are received.

How to check notifications

You can check kintone notifications in the following ways:

  • On Portal
  • On the "Notifications" screen

  • From push notifications received in the mobile app

Checking notifications on Portal

You can check notifications on Portal (the top page of kintone).

When you receive "To Me" notifications, a badge that indicates the number of notifications appears on the Notifications icon.

A badge on the Notifications icon indicates the number of unread "To Me" notifications, up to 99. When you have more than 100 unread "To Me" notifications, the badge displays "99+".
