Understanding mandatory notifications

Some notifications are essential for compliance, security, or critical business operations. These are marked as mandatory and cannot be turned off. You’ll see these with a greyed-out toggle.

Remote ensures these important communications are always delivered.

Frequently asked questions

How can I enable the Slack integration for personal notifications?
To enable the Slack integration for receiving personal notifications, your company admins with Owner or Super Admin roles need to activate the integration at the company level. They can do this by following our step-by-step guide. After the Slack integration has been successfully enabled by the admins, individual users will have the ability to customize and manage their own personal notifications directly through Slack.

Are these settings personal or company-wide?
Your preferences are personal. Any changes you make apply only to your account and do not affect what other company admins receive.

Do my changes override my company’s notification settings?
No. Company-level settings remain in place. These preferences let you fine-tune what you see, without affecting others.

Do my preferences apply to other admins?
No. Each admin manages their own notifications. This means you can adjust your preferences without worrying about changing what others see.

Could I miss important compliance-related emails if I turn off some notifications?
No. Notifications that are legally required or critical for security and operations cannot be turned off. Remote automatically ensures that compliance-critical updates are always delivered.
