By default, the in-app notifications component is connected to Velt’s Comments feature. All relevant comment notifications automatically show up here. You can also add custom notifications from your app into Velt’s notifications feature using REST APIs. Learn more about adding notifications via REST API → In-app notifications are only generated and fetched for documents the user has access to.

Notifications for Private Comments

A comment notification carries the comment text. For a private comment, Velt limits the audience to the users who can see that comment.
  • The comment author and any user or organization named in the comment’s visibility normally receive it.
  • A user who cannot see the comment receives nothing. Velt sends no redacted placeholder.
This applies on every channel:
  • The “For You”, “Document”, and “All” tabs of the notifications panel.
  • Webhooks.
  • Email.
It also applies to every comment notification, including the one Velt sends when a private comment is deleted. This check runs in addition to Access Context filtering. A notification must pass both before a user receives it. Public comments are unaffected. So are notifications created before this release. Custom notifications you add through the Add Notifications REST API are unaffected. They carry no comment. No integration change required.

Default Configuration

Max count:
  • “For You” tab: By default, only the latest 50 notifications are fetched. This is done to reduce clutter and noise.
  • “Document” and “All” tabs: By default, up to 15 notifications are fetched for each of the 15 most recently active documents accessible to the current user. This highlights the most relevant and recent activity.
Max days: By default, notifications older than 15 days will not be fetched. This is configurable.
