Subscriptions

Beyond ownership-based notifications, you can subscribe to specific assets to receive notifications regardless of whether you own them. When subscribing, choose which notification types you want for that asset.

Subscriptions vs Ownership

Ownership notifications are automatic - if your team owns an asset, all members receive notifications. Subscriptions let individual users opt in to assets they don't own but want to watch.

Preferences

You can control which notification types you receive globally. Navigate to your profile and find the Notification Preferences section.

Aggregation

Marmot batches rapid changes to prevent notification spam. If multiple updates happen to assets you own within a short window, they are grouped into a single notification rather than one per change.

Aggregation Window

Changes are batched within a 2-minute window, with a maximum 5-minute wait before delivery. This keeps your feed manageable during bulk operations and updates.

External Notifications

Send notifications to Slack, Discord, or any HTTP endpoint via team webhooks.
