Timing
Slack notifications are sent in real-time. Email digests are designed with time delays based on urgency and are only sent if you haven't already read the notification.
Email digests
Email digests send a summary of unread notifications. They're configured to send out after a certain amount of time has elapsed depending on properties such as experiment status. We send near immediate email updates when you've been assigned an urgent experiment or if an experiment you're assigned is marked urgent.
Slack channel notifications
We have a separate integration with Slack that lets you push project updates to a specific Slack channel. You can manage these from the three dot menu on the Project page. Learn more and how to set them up in our Slack documentation.
