I can’t find a setting that will allow me to set notifications for the Accountable Team in a goal. This means that the 30 people on my team are getting a notification every time a team member creates a new goal or updates its status. We are setting our Team as the Accountable Team so that everyone’s goals are visible in the Team Goals tab. I tried following this guidance from the Asana Community Forum but don’t see a place to set notifications for the Accountable Team. I can see how to set notifications for Members.
We want to:
stop our team from receiving updates every time a team member creates or updates a new goal
we would like to be able to direct status updates to a certain person or set of people on the team
we would like everyone’s goals to be visible in the Team Goals section (or somewhere if that’s not the right place)
To adjust notification settings for an existing goal, click on Share button in the top right corner, and then select the Manage notifications to pre-set the notifications for status updates and comments.
When setting up a new goal and sharing it with a user or a team, you will have to un-check the notification box appearing in that window to prevent sending out a notification to the added users.
Honestly, this was something my team was struggling with too. Once we adjusted the notification settings for the accountable teams in Goals, it made a big difference. Before that, people were either getting too many notifications or missing important updates.
I think it really helps to clearly define who’s accountable and then fine-tune notifications so only the right people get updates. It keeps everyone aligned without overwhelming the team.
Curious to know how others are managing this — are you keeping default settings or customizing them for each goal?
