Notifications

Hule notifies you about changes to tasks you're involved in. You can receive them in-app, by email, or through Telegram.

Due date reminders

A background scanner runs every 5 minutes and checks for tasks with upcoming or missed due dates:

• Due soon: a task is due within a configurable window. You're notified once.
• Overdue: a task's due date has passed. You're notified once.

Each task is tracked so you receive the alert only once. If you change the due date, the alert resets.

Summaries

You can enable daily or weekly summaries that list tasks completed, tasks still open, and tasks approaching their due date. Summaries are sent on a schedule you configure (e.g. every weekday at 9 AM).

Delivery channels

In-app

Notifications appear in the notification panel (bell icon in the top bar). They're stored in the app and never expire — you can scroll back through your entire notification history.

New notifications arrive in real time — no page refresh needed. The notification badge updates instantly when the app is open.

Email

Email notifications are sent to your registered email address. Configure which types of notifications you want to receive by email in Settings → Notifications.

If SMTP is not configured on the server, email notifications are skipped (the admin will see a warning on startup).

Telegram

Connect your Telegram account to receive notifications through the @hule_bot bot. You'll need to:

1. Start a chat with @hule_bot.
2. Use the /settings command and follow the link to link your account.
3. In Hule, go to Settings → Notifications → Telegram and enable the notification types you want.

Quiet hours

You can set quiet hours to suppress push notifications (email and Telegram) during specific times — for example, 10 PM to 8 AM. During quiet hours:

• Notifications are still created in-app (you see them when you open the app).
• Email and Telegram notifications are queued and sent after quiet hours end.
• Previously configured quiet hours respect your timezone (set in notification settings).

To configure: Settings → Notifications → Quiet hours.

Notification settings

Fine-tune what you receive for each channel. Go to Settings → Notifications and toggle:

• Task assignments
• Comments and mentions
• Status changes
• Due date reminders
• Recurring task spawns
• Summary reports

You can set preferences separately for in-app, email, and Telegram.
